Unfortunately, many wireless cards in Windows do not allow you to do
network captures.  I use to have a link to a web site that explained it
all and had a list of Wireless NICs/Chipsets and which ones worked or
didn't work for network captures but now I can't find it.

You might be thinking of

	http://www.micro-logix.com/WinPcap/Supported.asp

which is linked to from

	http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/WLAN

which gives information on wireless captures on various OSes, including Windows (and also mentions the AirPcap adapter).
