PS - I've just had a play with the "virtual HCI" implementation in the Linux kernel version shipped with *buntu 11.04, and it appears that the maintainers of their LibPCap builds have thoughtfully decided to disable support for capturing on Bluetooth interfaces, for some unknown reason.
In this case, your best bet would be to install the "libbluetooth-dev" package, and build a non-crippled version of LibPCap (and Wireshark?) from source, with the appropriate "./configure" argument specified. Sorry for disappointing you, Tyson.
