This issue is caused by your machine being connected to a switch. The packets you do see from other machines are either broadcast, multicast or traffic going to a destination the switch does not recognize at the moment (so it floods it out all ports). Wireless does act as a hub, but it is difficult/impossible to get some wireless cards into "monitor mode" so they actually capture the other traffic. See http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/WLAN for more details. If your wireless LAN has proper encryption on it though, you still won't be able to see other machine's traffic.
