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?
Your assuming the attacker used a built in wireless on a laptop. How about a PCMCIA card that you can buy with cash at BestBuy or CircuitCity? These are more likely because you can open them up and attach external antennas to boost the range. Unless the guy does something incredibly dumb like check his hotmail email, your not going to catch him. Better to spend the time and money on training the user base and compliance efforts. <html> <body> <p>***********************************************************************</p> <p>The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
