I'm not going to say it's impossible, but using ndiswrapper to capture packets is definitely going to be problematic.
I use kismet. There is a uci extension available in the repository. Unfortunately, it will not work with ndiswrapper. Wireshark is the de facto standard for capturing packets on a wired network. I checked their wiki, and it seems they do support wireless, and they even mention the possibility of getting it to work with ndiswrapper. They don't really say how, just that it may be possible. Here is that page: http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/WLAN
I don't know how committed you are, but I would give up on using ndiswrapper to capture packets. You can find a good deal on a card with native Linux drivers on the internet.
It's up to you. Good luck.
