Wireless IDS monitoring using Snort

Stupid question and maybe I'm not thinking properly with regards to my home network and lab topology...Can Snort be used to monitor both a wired and wireless home network? In setting up my lab, I was going to place a Netgear switch after my home router and use port mirroring to capture all the traffic. So it would go cable modem, router, one cable from router to switch, then each machine running off the switch, with the sensor being on a port that is mirroring traffic. I'm assuming then that all traffic going wirelessly out would be missed because it is skipping the switch where the sensor is altogether. Am I right? Are there any ways to configure a home network to use Snort to monitor both wired and wireless traffic?
