Short story: the wireless adapter is probably one of the two "Microsoft" ones.
Long story: starting from Vista, wireless drivers can be old style (NDIS 5.x) working exactly like in Windows 2000/XP, or native Wifi drivers (NDIS6). In this case the driver is lightweight and delivers 802.11 frames to an intermediate driver (developed by MS) that converts 802.11 frames into cooked 802.3 frames that can be managed by the upper protocols like the TCP/IP stack. This intermediate driver is also responsible for managing association/disassociation, BSSID scans and such. And this intermediate driver is also responsible for filtering the requests coming from the upper protocols (like WinPcap) for the underlying device description, and always returning "Microsoft" instead of e.g. "Intel Wireless 4965 Adapter". I haven't looked if there is a possible workaround to the problem, yet.
