There is no direct station-to-station traffic. Also, it is possible to have an AP with no IP address in it. Early LinkSys units were like this; they configured either through SNMP or USB cable connected to a 'doze box. In answer to your initial question, I would imagine that it is possible to build an OS/2-based AP. It would be quite an undertaking, though!
