Quoting Q17 at http://winpcap.polito.it/misc/faq.htm:
Wireless adapters are not granted to work: some of them are not detected, other don't support promiscuous mode. In the best case, WinPcap is able to see an Ethernet emulation and not the real transiting packets. We don't have any wireless adapter to test WinPcap, so this is the best help we can provide. Maybe some user that reads this mailing list has one of these adapters and can be more helpful.
