I've had better luck with Packetyzer (google network chemistry packetyzer). For example, Wireshark refuses to open my Cisco wireless adapter, but Packetyzer can bind to the NIC.

Neither Wireshark nor Packetyzer open adapters - they both use WinPcap:

so any difference in the adapters they can open is probably an issue with WinPcap.

Are Wireshark and Packetyzer running on the same machine? What version or versions of WinPcap are they using? (I'm not sure it's possible to have more than one version installed on the same machine.)
