Unable to set the channel on wireshark to capture on wireless interface.

Steps:
======
1. Download wireshark 1.10.6 on MAC OS 10.7.

capture.

Impact:
=======
1.I am unable find out in which channel i am sniffing the packet.
2.I am not sure that Really i am capturing on 40Mhz and 80 Mhz since i don't
have an option to choose bandwidth also.
3.In 11ac, we are not seeing the ac capability information also.

Expected Result:
=================
There should be an option to choose channel and bandwidth, so that people can
be sure that they are sniffing the packets in proper channel and bandwidth.
