To capture wireless traffic with Wireshark on a Windows computer, you currently must have an AirPcap adapter (as mentioned in this answer and elsewhere).

If you cannot procure an AirPcap adapter, you can in stead use a modern Linux distribution. Ubuntu and Fedora are relatively easy to use, have live-cd support, and can install Wireshark through the standard package manager. Really, though, you could try any distribution you like.
