I guess that kinda depends on what you want to know. You can already get
most of that information with the commandline also.
sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning

Where wlan0 is the name of the wireless card being used.
But Kismet is also good if you can get it working, I had some driver
issues last time I tried it.
