It's only a matter of time. It's bad enough they can buy their own servers and switches down at CompUSA and set up situations that can bring your network down while spanning tree runs..
1) does your employer have a written security policy in place? Will your management enforce such a policy if it does exist? 2) would a demonstration to senior management about how easily anyone can get into the company net help? Especially if it were done from the Visitors Parking Lot? 3) is it just easier to take on the responsibility for these kinds of rogue operations by initiating the practices recommended by others who have responded? meaning configuring the WAP's, installing the appropriate software on the wireless client machines, etc? not to mention the inevitable troubleshooting, and listening to and having to do something about the inevitable complaints about "slow network"? best of luck. long experience suggests that in the end, whoever set up this "rogue" net will win any argument you may have.
