I realize this thread is a little old, but I did want to make a comment in regards to this.  As a QSA, *wired* side 
scanning alone would be insufficient to meet the intent of the PCI DSS 11.1 requirement.  There is this quote from PCI 
Council:

"Relying on wired side scanning tools (e.g. tools that scan suspicious hardware MAC addresses on switches) may identify 
some unauthorized wireless devices; however, they tend to have high false positive/negative detection rates. Wired 
network scanning tools that scan for wireless devices often miss cleverly hidden and disguised rogue wireless devices 
or devices that are connected to isolated network segments. Wired scanning also fails to detect many instances of rogue 
wireless clients. A rogue wireless client is any device that has a wireless interface that is not intended to be 
present in the environment."
