kismet vs netstumbler

I have used both Kismet and NetStumbler and was wondering how come NetStumbler is able to detect the names and SSIDs of APs while Kismet usually does not. Also, if you notice the activity lights on the card while the two softwares are functioning, its very different.

Does anyone know how exactly NetStumbler's "probing" method works? Is Kismet different because its passive?
