Who said anything about 'cracking' other people's wifi? Airodump-ng is an audit utility and is similar to kismet, it will tell you all the AP's in the area including the channel that they are on. The best way to determine if it works is simply to try it, I did not bother about working out the chipset. You'll find that most of them work with either kismet or airodump-ng.
