Thanks for the hint. the monitor mode is the default mode which is
required for kismet. i used this all the time. thats why kismet is
called a passive scanning-tool which never generates traffic. it only
collects.

i found out, that there are no clients awaiting connectings to this
accesspoints, so there is no way to find out the ssid. maybe i forget
something.
