I assume by "with ubiquiti" you mean that you have some device from Ubiquiti Networks:

        http://www.ubnt.com/

At least from what the Wikipedia page about them:

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubiquiti_Networks

says, their devices might behave like Wi-Fi devices.

If you're using them with Windows, "compatible with Wireshark" really means "compatible with WinPcap" - Wireshark 
includes no code that knows about particular networking adapters except for AirPcap adapters, it relies on 
libpcap/WinPcap and the OS mechanisms atop which libpcap/WinPcap run - and, with WinPcap, Wi-Fi adapters don't work 
very well in promiscuous mode:

        http://www.winpcap.org/misc/faq.htm#Q-16

"The WinPcap device driver was developed to work primarily with Ethernet (10/100/1000) adapters. Support for other MACs 
was added during the development, but Ethernet remains the most tested one. 
The overall situation is:

        ...

        ? Wireless adapters: these adapters may present problems, because they are not properly supported by the 
Windows Kernel. Some of them are not detected, other don't support promiscuous mode. In the best case, WinPcap is able 
to see an Ethernet emulation and not the real transiting packets: this means that the 802.11 frames are transformed 
into fake Ethernet frames before being captured, and that control frames are not received."
