No, you're missing a capture card for your machine:

Unlike some commercial network analyzers, we don't have our own special drivers for capturing with various network adapters, and WinPcap doesn't support NDIS 6 and thus can't support the "Native Wi-Fi" capabilities of some drivers on Windows Vista and 7 (and possibly some service packs for XP), so the only devices with which you can, on Windows, do "monitor mode"-style capturing with Wireshark are the special AirPcap adapters.
