There is a sample capture file in the bug that contains the homeplug-av dissector.

Whether it contains the mgmt frames your are looking for: I don't know. Please check yourself. You can access the protocol fields with homeplug_av.xxxx in the Display Filter input box.

Kurt

HomeplugAV 1.1 dissection was fixed lately in the Wireshark development tree (1.9.0 builds) and some various captures can be found in the following bugs:

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8166

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8148

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8259

If you intend to work on HomeplugAV 1.1 frames, I suggest you to upgrade your Wireshark version with a nightly build found here
