Test the card in iBSS/AdHoc mode.

If you are only going to have two wireless cards, you really don't need the hostAP driver. You could just hard code a ssid & channel and get packets to flow that way. The HostAP driver is great for serving the masses; they don't really need to know anything more than just the ssid.
