Are you just looking for a logging application?  If your access point supports it, you can have an alarm set that will 
notify you when a specific event occurs like someone connecting and associating to the access point.

Thank you for all the help.  What I'm really looking for is a way to
track people that connect to an unsecured wireless network.  I know that
DHCP can be used to track them, but what if they figure out what IP
range is being used and then use a static IP to connect to the network.
~ How can one detect these stations?  I am aware and appreciate all the
advice on securing the network, but I'm just trying to do this for an
experiment.

Thanks,
Kamal
