peer - peer wireless networking?

Newbie to wireless question.........
I've a simple peer to peer network here with two win98 computers just
sharing files etc.
Can I simply replace the netcards with wireless cards, or is more hardware
required?

cheers.
Rick.

Yes, you can. Then, you'd set up an "Ad-hoc" (computer-to-computer)
wireless network.

An alternative, especially if you have a broadband Internet
connection, is to get a wireless router, connect the Internet to it,
and share the connection between the computers. In that case, you'd
set up an "Infrastructure" wireless network.
