repost for group:


Nessus will do this. There is a plugin just for this.

More rudimentary, is that you can use a wireless scanner to capture
traffic. Use strings and a perl script to pull hostnames from the
traffic and then compare those hostnames to your inventory (I told you
it was rudimentary, but this will tell you either you have a your
clients connecting to a rogue ap that they set up, or they are
connecting to one circumventing your controls). David Hoelzer from
SANS gives a tutorial for this:

I know of a lot of the various wireless scanners, but with those, it's
impossible to know if it's an AP on your network, or another companies
network. Especially in office buildings where there are other
companies above, below, and beside you.

It seems like the only way to do it is to scan on the wired network
for APs of any make/model, but I'm not aware of a tool that does it.



Thanks,
