Running Windows. :-)
Capturing on wireless interfaces doesn't work very well on Windows,
probably due to driver problems:

Note also that even if you can capture on a wireless interface, you'll
probably only see data packets, not management or control packets, and the
packets will have Ethernet headers:

That bug is fixed in the recently-released Ethereal 0.10.6; download and
install that.
