I haven't tried this, but take a look at: https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/AdHoc https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc I suppose it is feasible also to configure the Wi-Fi in "infrastructure mode", where the other PC functions as an access point without necessarily performing any routing. While most consumer "routers" act both as an AP and a router, they are not the same thing.
