The Nessus scanner can identify a variety of Web/FTP/SNMP interfaces to
various wireless access points. There is a white paper on it under the
'Vulnerability Management' section on our web site at:
http://www.tenablesecurity.com/whitepapers/compliance.shtml

The Passive Vulnerability Scanner (PVS) can "sniff" traffic and look for
Web/FTP/SNMP interfaces to various wireless access points as well. The
PVS also generically finds proxies. There is a blog entry on this here:

Hello there,

Can anyone point me to a wired LAN scanner/sniffer that detects wireless 
access points connected to the LAN?

Thanks,
