Dude, that's exactly what 802.11b is. All you need are two 802.11b cards ($150) and two pringle's can ($20) type antennas, and there ya go. Now that will just get you peer-to-peer, unless one of the cards is in an Internet gateway box hardwired to a land line.
Now, line of sight would be good, as water (organic material like leaves) between the two antennas will screw it up. And metal, electrical fields, your mom, etc, will probably degrade the signal. But theoretically, it can be done on the cheap. There are plenty of articles to help you get started at: http://www.oreillynet.com/wireless/.
