Kismet should.  I know we were able to pickup my SSID without it
broadcasting with both Kismet and NetStumbler.  There were a few options to
change in NetStumbler, and off the top of my head I cannot remember them.

  Not with NetStumbler (boo hoo).  Apparently, though, some of
the Linux-only wardriving utilities will capture an SSID by
sniffing existing traffic rather than rely on trying to provoke
a broadcast.
