Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] I am only getting IEEE 802.11 packets from my AirPcap Nx

I am having a problem that I am stuck on.  I am using an AirPcap Nx wireless USB card.  I have it capturing packets through wireshark (Version 1.2.5).  I am sniffing my own traffic which is encrypted through WPA-PSK.  I have the keys and everything inserted correctly (as far as I know) for it.  I am trying to sniff Http and tcp traffic.  I try opening a browser and browsing the internet, but I don't get any http packets?  The only packets I am getting are IEEE 802.11 protocol packets.  (basically beacon frames)  Does anyone know what the problem is?  Is there some setting I need to adjust?
