Nice.
 
While there are issues with wired-side detection of access points, I still think it's a great way to get most issues....
 
I have been trying to find a open-source version of this - scanning of mac address tables in Cisco switches and routers. 
 
Specifically -
 
Pull ARP tables from routers
Pull MAC tables from switches
Cross-reference against access-point_mac_table_list
notify of and/or shut down remote port
 
Does anyone have such a thing? 
 
It would be simple to create, if I only had a good list of mac address prefixes for wireless...
 
It looks like someone tried - http://sourceforge.net/projects/wsrapd/  But never got off the ground.
 
Anyone have a good mac-address prefix table for wireless devices?
 
Thanks!

Not sure if anyone else has seen this company, but they are working specifically to detect unauthorized wireless devices through the wire- they are now up to detecting over a 150 different access points, both enterprise-class and consumer class. They are constantly refining their process, and I have used early versions and thought the approach was pretty cool, and long overdue:

As I mentioned, they are constantly refing, and striving to effectively detect rogues from the wired side. There's more to the game than sniffing the spectrum.
