Yes, MacStumbler works with the Broadcom/Apple card on my machine 
(12" PBG4, OS X.2.6) However, because it does a "probe" request, it 
can be detected.  Also, it's not actually actively scanning, like 
Kismac does.  It's just sending probe requests and logging what comes 
back to it.  You can be connected to a network and scan with 
MacStumbler.

I've run MacStumbler along side my friend running Kismac on his 
iBook, and I show up as "Probe" and that's annoying.

Also, MacStumbler is severely lacking in features, like data packet 
capturing, GPS support, WEP cracking tools (the list goes on and on)

I really wish there was some way for me to get Mick the information 
he needed to write a Broadcom driver for Kismac.
