The following are excerpts from Ethereal's FAQ
(http://www.ethereal.com/faq.html)

Q 5.37: I'm trying to capture 802.11 traffic on Windows; why am I not seeing any 
packets?

A: At least some 802.11 card drivers on Windows appear not to see any packets if 
they're running in promiscuous mode. Try turning promiscuous mode off; you'll only be 
able to see packets sent by and received by your machine, not third-party traffic, and 
it'll look like Ethernet traffic and won't include any management or control frames, 
but that's a limitation of the card drivers.

Q 5.38: I'm trying to capture 802.11 traffic on Windows; why am I seeing packets 
received by the machine on which I'm capturing traffic, but not packets sent by that 
machine?

A: This appears to be another problem with promiscuous mode; try turning it off.
