Now, I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you on your other points, so don't 
jump on top of me...but if you have multiple WAPs set up with WDS, you may be 
able to see WAP-to-WAP traffic on the LAN side (this becomes the wireless 
backbone) as the WAPs attempt to share information. I've not been able to 
verify this myself, but maybe someone else here can either verify or inform me 
of my mistaken assumption. :)

Will this detect the lame CFO plugging in a SOHO WAP in his office to get on 
the network from his couch closer to the window? Nope...


<- snip ->
For each of you that thinks they have a way to detect a wireless
access point using only the LAN, please demonstrate how you would
detect this.
