It probably belongs in winpcap-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, as it's probably a
WinPcap problem (Ethereal includes no code to do anything with network
adapters, it includes code to ask libpcap/WinPcap to do things with
network adapters).

What does it do instead of running?  Does it crash?  Does it not show the
2200BG adapter in the list of interfaces?  Does it show it but not capture
anything on it?

If it's one of the latter two problems, it's probably a WinPcap problem. 
Try downloading WinDump from

    http://windump.polito.it/

and try capturing on that adapter - use the "-D" flag to WinDump to get a
list of interfaces.

If that doesn't work (because that interface doesn't appear, or because it
does but you can't capture any traffic on it), report this as a bug to the
WinPcap developers; see

    http://winpcap.polito.it/contact.htm

and note the information at the bottom about the debugging version of the
WinPcap packet.dll.
