Promiscuous mode - am I understanding this right?

My understanding so far of promiscuous mode is as follows:

  • I set my wireless interface on computer A to promiscuous mode
  • I run wireshark capturing on that interface
  • I connect computer B to the same wifi network

Given the above, computer A should now be capturing traffic addressed from/to computer B's ip

But this does not happen

Is there something wrong with my understanding?

I have reversed the roles of computer A and B to decrease the likelihood of hardware being at fault.
