some AP's are set to not broadcast their ssid
some ap's dont even allow it
such as the belkin mini ap
you have to set the ssid and hard type it in your settings
well when netstumbler sends out the beacon call these ap's ignore it and do not respond
kismet monitors all traffic from the wireless channel
since the ssid is in at least 8 packets a second coming from any AP
it can determine them without sending the beacon by merely analyzing them
