Post Kismet vs NS

I think the main difference if the fact that kismet is a passive sniffer and Netstumbler is an active searcher...

Kismet only see's the SSID like netstumbler if it see's a beacon... if you could somehow have your machine send out NS like beacon requests whiel sniffing you woudl probably not have any problems getting the SSIDs all the time...

Kinda like using ARP flodding to get interesting packets for WEP Cracking...

Is there a Linux utility that will send let you send out beacon requests and etc?
