Your cards should have 2 options for communicating - infrastructre mode and
ad-hoc mode. Infrastructure is where your laptops talk to a wireless access
point on a LAN. Ad hoc is where your two laptops talk to each other
wirelessly.
Check the manuals that came with your wireless cards *or with your laptop if
the cards are built in). The manual should be able to tell you how to set up
in ad hoc mode.
