Could be but looks to me like it is a network issue on your end.

Could be, did you modify the router configuration?

How do you know/insure that they are identical and is one of the card
working properly?
If no, focus on one card first then clone it! :)


Look in '/etc/resolf.conf'.

If bypassing your wireless router works, some hints to look at:
- Is the issue manifesting itself through wired and wireless connection?
- Does rebooting the router helps?
- What "DNS" addresses is the router dishing out to clients?
- Is the router getting DNS addresses from upstream (ISP ...)?


- Resetting your router to factory defaults (after the reset try  with a
cable to test that everything is working as it should, then work from
there)?
