My question is: is there a way to connect just two computers together with wireless (probably 802.11b) without a wireless AP between the two of them?
There are about three simple command line instructions to enable ad-hoc communications. After you set the card's radio, its treated just like an ethernet card with ifconfig. Its a very simple type of link and works well. I used it for years before I knew what an access point was.
iwconfig eth0 mode ad-hoc iwconfig eth0 essid mynetwork
