Hello,
He may also just bought a PCMCIA or usb wifi network card in any shop
(without any track then).
If you have the mac address, you may try to identify the manufacturer:

How do they know they were hacked ? Do you know what interest the hacker ?
You may set up a trap, with honeypot & co to collect data. He may be enough
confident to retrieve pop3 mail or any thing cleartext that help identify.
Port mirroring may help to collect data.
Cordialement,

Subject: How to track down a wireless hacker
I have a new client who was setup with a wireless network a while back
using WPA encryption by another firm.
An 'unauthorized user' broke the encryption and got onto their network.
They've come to me to design a solution so that this doesn't happen
again, which isn't a problem.
However they also asked me if it's possible to track down the attacker
if this happened again.
From what I know, it's not possible is it?
If the attacker didn't change their MAC address, and say the companies
lawyers could get some sort of court order to intel, dell, etc to
release which MAC address went to which computer and who bought said
computer. Does the manufacture even keep that info?
If the attacker did change their MAC address, the real MAC address
will never transverse the wire(AIR) right, or is it still in the
packet somewhere?
Any other thoughts or ideas to track someone down?
Is any other info leaked that I'm not thinking about?
Thanks,
Jon
