I tried different packet-capture products, Ettercap, Snort, and then Ethereal, none of them capture anything at all. 
I'm using Windows XP Professional SP2, NETGEAR Wireless adaptor.
I select the adaptor, start capture, open my browser: nothing at all 0 packets captured. 
I'm lost, no clue what could the problem be.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
I'll try compiling it on my Linux partition, but I still feel curious why it didn't work.
Did you try turning off Promiscuous mode? Some wireless cards won't capture anything if it is on.
