[Solved] Communicating with nearby laptop with just wireless cards

Is there a way to communicate (e.g. exchange files) between a laptop with a wireless card and a nearby laptop that also has a wireless card, when there is no router nearby? Can two laptops with wireless cards communicate with each other without needing another device?

Please mark the thread as [solved] by editing your title. Our wiki is awesome, as you've already found (more awesome than asking questions on the forums at least ).
