    Thank you everyone for your responses. I realized that the client has
    to associate itself with the AP as I'm running Kismet (Which is what
    most of you replied). I was using it on my home network, and that
    explains why I didn't get the SSID.
    Also, someone asked for the link to aircrack. The link is
    http://www.cr0.net:8040/code/network/aircrack/ but I can't get there
    right now for some reason. Aircrack can also be found on the Auditor
    CD from remote-exploit.org

    Thanks,

    Andrew Bagrin
