Seems like it was not.
Have you used configure --enable-wireless ?

Start Snort and look for a message like this:

--== Initializing Snort ==--
Initializing Output Plugins!
Decoding IEEE 802.11 with PRISM headers on interface eth2

You have to start snort on an interface wich is either one with PRISM or
with 802.11b headers.
