Very few drivers for Windoze will put cards in the promiscuous mode.
All the Linux wireless card drivers will do that. That's why most
such sniffing is done with Linux based utilities.
I suggest you download and run one of the Linux LiveCD distributions
that are designed for Wireless. They contain everything you need in
addition to some goodies you probably didn't know you needed.

You boot the cdrom on your laptop, it automagically recognizes the
hardware, and you sniff away merrily. No reformatting and installing
Linux on your laptop hard disk required.

Ethereal will capture and decode packets. However, you'll need
something else if you're planning to look at the encrypted contents or
reassemble the packets.

Airopeek SE is $895 plus $300/year support.
Airopeek NX is $2995 plus $675/yr for support.

Right. See:

for list of tested wireless cards.
