The first 3 bytes (xx-xx-xx) of the MAC address are the OUI,
Organizationally Unique Identifier. You can search the OUI to identify
the manufacturer here: http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/index.shtml

I'll give this a shot (answering a question that is).

1) Block the Torrent ports and websites.

2) Lower the signal strength of your AP so it's bare minimum of what you
need for company work.

3) Find his MAC address, have some scanning software alert you when he's
on, and then hack his box. Of course, you could block his MAC address
unless he's changing it all the time. Initially he might not be, but
write it down and do some research on what brand of item he has using
the first digits (I think it's 4) of the MAC address. That narrows his
equipment down.

Just some thoughts. If I'm wrong PLEASE let me know. If I'm correct then
let me know too. I'm working on this security stuff.

Thanks,
