I'm trying to capture data from my wireless network but so far I can only get packets going to and from my computer. When I go to interface options it grays out the wireless setting buttons, so there is no obvious way for me to go further... anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

You're lucky to come away from this with your anus intact, to be quite honest. Thankfully the easily-angered ＥＸＰＥＲＴ ＰＲＯＧＲＡＭＭＥＲＳ are busy meditating. I suggest running away as fast as your connection will take you.
wireshark is based on tcpdump, i've never used wireshark after ethereal changed their name but i assume you can still use libpcap filters in wireshark
so this is what i would do in tcpdump to capture packets from my wireless interface in osx for example
tcpdump -i en1 -nXXs 0 'tcp'
not much of a filter because you only state trying to capture packets from your wireless interface, you don't say anything about what kind of filter you want
