Default Is it EASY & possible to connect 2 wifi computers directly without a hub or router? Like using some kind of wireless crossover cable?

Back in the day I could connect 2 computer using a crossover cable
without using anything else.

How can I connect 2 wireless computers - that is, they have built in
wifi - together without a router or hub?
Is it possible?
Is it easy?

Will you help me?

Thanks
Bonnie

Sure. You have two main options: you can set up an ad-hoc network
or, if one or other wireless card supports its, configure that card
as an access point. The other computer(s) access that machine as
if it was a regular AP.
