Trying to get my head around these wireless pcmia's..  If I dont want
an access point, can I:

Pop a w-lan card in a laptop connected to my lan,
Pop a w-lan card in the fujitsu/epod/ipaq and get the two to
communicate as is?  And with bridging or ics in the laptop could I
get the pad device to get ip connectivity through it?

If I was to add another device (another w-lan card) would that still
be compatible with the above setup - or is that where the ap comes in.

(in my mind I have the metaphor of two wired lan cards, these can be
crosswired to connect 2 machines, once you add a 3rd machine you need
a hub - not sure if w-lans work the same way)
