Now then, there’s just one thing missing from the equation – npf.sys (Part of WinPcap)has to reside on the local machine. Is there a way to redirect Ethereal to look for npf.sys in another location besides %systemroot%\system32\drivers?
No, because Ethereal/Wireshark doesn't look there. WinPcap looks there; Ethereal/Wirecap (and other applications) just call WinPcap to open an adapter for capturing. 

You might want to ask the WinPcap developers about this.
