wireless crossover connection(s)

Is it possible to connect two laptops together using only Cisco
Aironet 350 pcmcia network cards (similiar to using a crossover Cat5
cable)? I am taking my first footsteps into the wireless arena and
wanted to perform some testing w/o having to use the Cisco Access
Points.

Yup. Connect in AD HOC mode rather than Infrastructure mode.
