If I run airodump-ng on channel 10, why does it shows networks from channel 1? Why couldn't is change the CH?

The only way I can change the channel is that I try to connect to a channel 10 network with nm-applet... then again try airodump-ng, and only then it scans/shows in REALITY ch 10 networks.

Question: Why does it stays in a channel? Ex.: 1.. why cannot it switch and scan on the selected 10?

Have you ran 'airmon-ng check kill' or appended '--ignore-negative-one" tor your airmon an airodump command? – redfast00 Dec 14 '15 at 21:19
Please add your OS, the wireless card used and the chipset of that card. – redfast00 Dec 14 '15 at 21:23

You can work around this by issuing iw dev wlan0 set channel CH at runtime. At least this works on ath9k chips. – Dec 15 '15 at 14:02
