Thanks a lot, Emmanuel. My iw binary that came default with my Ubuntu
distribution was very old (3.4) and it didn't have support for channel
bonding larger than 40Mhz.
I compiled the latest iw version from sources then I took the
center_freq1 from the beacon advertised by the AP. That's because the
iw dev on a device associated to the same AP gave me the control
frequency. After that, I was able to capture the data frames.

One more question that I promise to be the last one:
- I am trying to capture the Wi-Fi Direct traffic between two
smartphones: iw shows me that the p2p interface from one of the
smartphones uses 2.4Ghz, channel 1 so I set the monitor interface on
2.4, channel 1. The problem is that, again, I can't see the data
frames. Instead, I can see the Association/Authentication Request,
RTS/CTS, Block ACK (I attached the Wireshark capture at [1]).

Analyzing the capture, I noticed that the HT capabilities advertised
in the beacon frames indicates 802.11n D1.10. Does this trigger any
indication for you on how to setup the monitor interface?
