Here the answer is very simple. When Wireshark is connected to a wired or wireless network, there is a software driver that is located between the physical or wireless interface and the capture engine. In Windows, we have the WinPcap driver; in Unix platforms, we have the Libpcap driver; and for wireless interfaces, we have the Airpcap driver.
