Steve, thank you for your reply. I agree with you, but this confirms my idea that my receiver is listening to many channels and not only to channel 9 as I would like; I say that because in the radiotap header I can read different channel numbers, but the frames come always from the same AP. My goal is to force my receiver in monitor mode to listen ONLY to one channel. Note that I don't have this kind of problem with another wifi adapter based on Atheros 5K chipset.

However, when using a channel, the signal spreads 25MHz wide covering 5 channels at once. This means that means that channel 9 is picking up traffic from channels 9-13. This may be why you are seeing traffic from other channels.
