Ah, thanks. That makes a lot more sense now. A couple of questions though:

Does Kismet even attempt to probe to find out SSIDs?

and how does Netstumbler get the MAC addresses of the APs? Is this information just included in the packets it sniffs out?

Also, do you know if there is a reason that Netstumbler doesn't work with non-hermes cards? Is it because it is not possible (that doesn't make sense since it works in linux) or because it just hasn't been programmed in yet.
