All 802.11 miniports in Windows XP emulate 802.3. So, you will only see
802.3 headers and only 802.3 miniports. All 802.11 miniports report
NdisMedium802_3 to OID_GEN_MEDIA_SUPPORTED and OID_GEN_MEDIA_IN_USE and
then NdisPhysicalMediumWirelessLan to OID_GEN_PHYSICAL_MEDIUM.

In Longhorn, this is likely to change.
