It is.

We currently have a different 802.11 toolbar that currently supports only Linux; it can probably be made to support other platforms.  To the extent that the AirPcap and 802.11 toolbar can have their code combined, that would probably be a Good Thing.  (Ultimately, support for controlling Wi-Fi channels belongs in libpcap/WinPcap.)

Some of the AirPcap code is compiled on UN*X; I think that's done to catch changes done on UN*X that would cause build issues on Windows.
