Since I can't see the code except the little snippet you posted
which seems to neglect pushing packets into bpf, maybe that's
what you're missing?

see (in 1.5.x) /usr/src/sys/dev/pcmcia/if_wi.c:wi_start()
or (in -current) /usr/src/sys/dev/ic/wi.c:wi_start()

#if NBPFILTER > 0
        /*
         * If there's a BPF listner, bounce a copy of
         * this frame to him.
         */
        if (ifp->if_bpf)
                bpf_mtap(ifp->if_bpf, m0);
#endif

        m_freem(m0);

hope this helps.
