802.11b/g runs in the 2.4GHz band and each channel in the is 5MHz wide. 
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.
