I don't think that sniffing a wireless network is the same as wired. You
(normally) are disassociated, and just sniffing packets (if put in
promiscuous mode) from different channels, depending on settings. 

You might try installing a driver from Wildpackets, as those are meant
for sniffing a wireless network. I don't think this is an issue with
NTOP.

Don't know what "real" means either - but Windows will for sure.  I use
many tools on windows.  The driver is what must support promiscuous.

My understanding - given the little experience I have with a popular
sniffing tool - was that Windows won't do promiscuous mode..or not
"real" promiscuous mode (whatever "real" means in that context).
