Sometimes. The capability is called Ad-Hoc mode.

If you have two Linux machines with wifi NICs that support it,
you can do it.

If one of the hosts is a drone, it might not be capable of that.

Instead, some wifi NICs support host mode on the Linux side,
which turns your Linux machine into an access point. That might
be just as good.

The package you want is hostapd.
