...assuming the capture device is an 802.11 interface, that is.  He 
didn't indicate that it was, so he might want to capture on Ethernet, 
for example.

If he does want to capture on 802.11 in monitor mode, or capture 
non-data 802.11 packets, he might need to get the right versions of 
drivers for the adapter on which he'd be capturing.  I don't know which 
of the drivers that come with FC3, if any, can handle that.  The FAQ 
item for 802.11 capturing on Linux:

has information on that.
