In some sense, there's no support for capturing *anything* in Ethereal;
it relies on libpcap/WinPcap, and the underlying OS mechanisms used by
libpcap/WinPcap, to do all the capturing work - Ethereal merely
processes the packets supplied to it by libpcap/WinPcap.

As such, the problem is probably one with your OS or with the drivers
for your 802.11g card.  What OS are you using, and what wireless card
are you using?
