  If there are no associated clients, you can brute-force the SSID with MDK3 http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forums/showthread.php?t=12360

  And mahouse is correct: airodump-ng automatically detects when the SSID is broadcasted and displays it.

  Doesn't airodump-ng do this by default?

  Yes it does, even with a neat curses based interface IIRC. No need for wireshark at all.

  I just wish airodump-ng's curses interface paid attention to the height of my terminal or provided a way to scroll.

  Neat, but you can do the equivalent with tcpdump and grep, right?
