I have a Thinkpad T42 with wireless and 10/100/1000 ethernet. I do

have some weird thing that happens when I enter ipconfig in a DOS
window; it does not display any interface statistics, and says that
there is some unknown error.
We've got a couple of classrooms of T42's with centrino wired and wireless interfaces, and have never seen any problems or errors reported when running ipconfig. 
We did find that the wireless drivers that come from IBM's website caused problems when using the TKIP WPA cypher though - we had to ditch them and use the Intel drivers, which were more recent. I don't think that's related to your problem though, which sounds like windows getting confused about something.

Also, it's not clear from your post if you're trying to capture on the wired or wireless interface.
