Yes, it's possible. You need to configure both wireless cards to
operate in "Ad Hoc" mode instead of "Infrastructure."

Keep in mind that Ad Hoc is extremely insecure by default. You
should enable at least WEP, and preferably WPA, if you don't want to
risk having someone eavesdrop.

Happy tweaking.
