Kismet doesn't need it to be broadcast to get the SSID, it looks at the
packets. As you sure you have the correct key?

I'm doing a wireless pen-test and am able to use aircrack  to 
crack the wep key, however, when I use Kismet, Cain, airdump 
etc.. I can't get the SSID of a the access point if the SSID 
broadcast has been disabled.  Does anyone know how to do 
this, or is there any tools that will let you get the SSID 
even if its not being broadcasted.

Thanks,

Andrew
