I agree.

I'm not sure how up-to-date the https://secwiki.org/w/Npcap/WiFi_adapters page is.  For example, my Wireless network 
card is the "Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260" card and I've been able to capture WiFi traffic in monitor mode just 
fine using WlanHelper.exe, despite that page indicating that it doesn't work.  Of course my driver version is slightly 
newer than the one listed there, being 20.70.6.1 instead of 20.70.1.1, so perhaps that's the reason.  Or possibly it 
didn't work with older versions of npcap, so I'd recommend trying it with the latest available version, currently 
0.9983 from https://nmap.org/npcap/.

For more information on configuring "Wireless Capture on Windows", I'll refer you to Jasper Bongertz's Blog post of the 
same name here: https://blog.packet-foo.com/2019/04/wireless-capture-on-windows/
