Probably yes, but last time when I was tried - I have failed to make
connected 4.7 wi card in ad-hoc mode:

wi0 at port 0x240-0x27f irq 5 slot 0 on pccard0
wi0: 802.11 address: 00:60:1d:f6:f6:6e
wi0: using Lucent Technologies, WaveLAN/IEEE
wi0: Lucent Firmware: Station 4.52.01
wi0: promiscuous mode enabled

% ifconfig wi0
wi0: flags=3D8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 10.0.0.50 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 10.0.0.255
        ether 00:60:1d:f6:f6:6e
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps
<adhoc>)
        status: associated
        ssid "MYSID" 1:""
        stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node"
        channel 2 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100
        wepmode MIXED weptxkey 1
        wepkey 1:64-bit


With both, similar Orinoco WaveLan card and with iwi0 card.
I have tried example from manpage:

--
     Join a Lucent legacy demo ad-hoc network with network name
``my_net'':

           ifconfig wi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid my_net
\
                   media DS/11Mbps mediaopt adhoc,link0
--

It said something like EINVAL.
Unfortunately have no card with me just now to retest.=20
