Subject: wireless sniffing question

I have a wireless sniffing question.

Lets say I have a Linksys (or whichever brand you like) wireless
router with a wireless host using 128 bit WEP encryption, and a wired
host connected to the same device.  Obviously it is possible for the
wired box to do various arp attacks on the switch to view other wired
hosts traffic. But does the same apply for the wireless host? Can the
wired host trick the switch on the Linksys into forwarding the
wireless clients packets to him via the regular wire?

Thanks.
