If this a proper ndk application - ie, a native library attached to a
java program - you can't really run it as root.
If you've abused the ndk's gcc to make a standalone executable, then
launching it from a root context such as the adb shell on an unsecured
device or whatever "su" type capability is found on a rooted community
rom on a phone should do the trick.
Note that this probably isn't going to get you traffic not already
going to/from the device. Putting the wifi chip in promiscuous mode
is something yet else.
If you interest stops with the emulator, it's probably easier to do
your sniffing on the host machine. Certainly more convenient to log
and display output there! It might even be easier to use a linux box
or linux-based router (DDWRT, etc) to do wifi logging than shoehorn it
into the phone.
