We temporarily don't have much engineering resources for wlan problems. So it
would help much if you could try to dig a bit further:

(In reply to comment #4 from Andreas Schallenberg)
Here are some additional test results:

* The system freezes during boot on both cards, but late in the
boot process. This happens, if network devices are controlled
by network manager.

Andreas, could you please disable network at boottime completely and start NM
manually to verify, that NM is really triggering the problem? Can you run 'cat
/proc/kmsg' in another terminal to see if there were some kernel messages
before the system freezes?

Tambet, what else can he do to debug the issue with NM?

Controlling devices the traditional way
(ifup etc) allows the system to boot.

Did you use the device the same way (same kind of connection/configuration)?

(The following tests are made using the Longshine card)

* lsmod reports the following modules after boot:
rtl8180, mac80211, eeprom_93cx6
(calling "lsmod | grep rtl")
* hwinfo does not make the system freeze
* Calling network setup in yast freezes with
"Treiberinformationen laden" (trans.: loading driver information),
second item. The first item (network device detection) received
a check mark.

Michal, how can that be debugged?
