I am having the same problem. If you come a cross any solution please let me know. By the way I am working on a Macintosh.
Presumably running OS X? (If you're not running OS X, Ethereal isn't supported; it handles UN*X (for example, OS X, although you need X11) and Windows, but not pre-OS X Mac OS.)
You should just be able to capture on the 802.11 interface, although the packets will look like Ethernet packets, and you'll only get data packets, not management or control packets:

At least it's not as bad as Windows....
