Adam,
I think you are trying to capture data on the Wifi adapter and this is
not guarenteed to work. There have been several posts in the past about
sniffing Wifi networks. I've attached a posting from Guy regarding this
subject below.
I have a T40 and cannot sniff the Wifi adapter in Permiscuous mode. I
can only sniff my own traffic. This appears to be a restriction of the
driver for the a/b/g Wifi miniPCI card.
Regards,
Pierre

Perhaps when IBM says the drivers support promiscuous mode they don't
mean that it's supported in a useful way for NDIS clients (such as
WinPcap)?
(Any support for promiscuous mode that does *NOT* cause all received
packets to be supplied to NDIS clients with a filter of
NDIS_PACKET_TYPE_PROMISCUOUS is not useful for NDIS clients.)
Or maybe the answer is "sorry, you can't capture in promiscuous mode on
802.11 interfaces using Windows and WinPcap, have a nice day":
http://www.ndis.com/faq/QA01190301.htm
which pretty much says the same thing as my quoted sentence, except that
"with WinPcap" is replaced by something equivalent to "with NDIS
clients".
(When WinPcap is running in promiscuous mode, the filter is
NDIS_PACKET_TYPE_PROMISCUOUS; when it's running in non-promiscuous mode,
the filter is NDIS_PACKET_TYPE_ALL_LOCAL.)

Subject: [Ethereal-users] Ethereal with the new Intel 2200BG drivers
Hi,
Not sure if this belongs here or in dev...
I recently (yesterday) downloaded the drivers for the Intel 2200BG card
(part of their Centrino platform). The version number is 8.1.0.28.
Suddenly, Ethereal won't run. In attempting to fix this problem, I
uninstalled and reinstalled ethereal (.10.7) and the newest WinPCap (the
beta4 version). I had also tried rolling back the drivers, but
ethereal wouldn't work either.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I have an IBM Thinkpad, T42 with IBM Access Connections 3.53 (I went
back to 3.1 and 3.3 to try and it didn't work there either)
Thanks,
Adam
