For kismet to find something, all that needs to happen is for it to recieve a single beacon from the access point. For Netstumber to find an AP, it has to associate with the AP. Which means that the AP has to hear it, it has to respond to the AP, and the AP has to accept the response. All without going out of signal range.

Pretty tough, huh??
