It appears I have found the answer to my own question. I don't know if
its a driver support issue, or more likely an ignorance issue, but I've
learned that I can get packets if I do not have the "Capture packets in
promiscuous mode" option set. It was on by default, and would not allow
any packets to get logged. I'll read up on this option, but my problem
has been solved for the time being.

I installed and used Etherial on a Dell Latitude C840 easily and
without incedent. In fact, the functionality and usablity were
incredible with little to no difficulty. I've tried the same on a
Dell Latitude D800 with different results. I've tried most all
combinations of the last three versions of Etherial with the last
three versions of WinPCap including the latest beta. I've tried
capture sessions on all listed interfaces, although I'm pretty sure
the wireless card is the one I want. Each time, Etherial reports no
packets captured. None. It's as if I'm choosing the wrong interface
to monitor, but I've tried them all. I'm running Windows XP SP2,
firewall engaged (not by choice, it's part of the group policy for my
domain). I don't even know where to start debugging this. Any pointers?
