Sure it is!  It's actually the default.  When you fire up the first
station, the wlan driver scans for a network with the given SSID (from
wlan.opts).  If a network isn't found and CREATEBSS=yes, then the wlan
script directs the driver to create an Independent Basic Service Set
(IBSS).  Subsequent stations will detect and join the IBSS created by the
first.

PS: I checked for the bug I thought might be causing the problem with your
system.  It isn't.  Send me your /var/log/messages,
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts, /etc/pcmcia/wlan, and /etc/pcmcia/wlan.opts files
from the machine where you get the failure.  We'll see if we can resolve
your problem.
