Currently the software only runs on NetBSD -- as such, it requires a stand-alone 
computer (or a NetBSD box) to run.  We're working on porting to MacOSX and would 
like to one day have it running as a background application on various operating 
systems, but we're not there yet.  Back to your situation, if the chipsets on 
your wireless NICs are supported by the CUWiN software, you should be able to 
set up a mesh between the computers (without external antennas).

Keep us posted,
