However, for some reason, the new one broke the whole system! My OS is not even able to boot! I don't have gdm, no console, nothing! Thus, no clue on what could be happening.

At what point does it fail?  I presume you see grub?

"identical models" may change from a manufacturer.  There are lots of 
revisions of the same chip, each sometimes has errata.  You may try 
disabling the device driver by modifying the GRUB menu line:

If it does turn out to be the driver, please file a bug with some 
details about the hardware.

Does the wireless device work there?  If so, you may have a different issue.
