Why not restrict access via MAC addresses on the wireless cards?  This would
be a preventative measure.

How are people starting to deal with hunting down and killing rogue 
Wireless Access Points (WAPs)[1]?  It seems pretty easy in environments 
where wireless isn't allowed at all, but is anyone dealing with the
situation in 
an environment where there are sanctioned wireless networks?

Thanks,

Paul
[1] I'm thinking a lot about the built-in laptop WAPs, people bringing in 
802.11b-enabled hubs, and only slightly about the cleaning folks hiding 
one in the ceiling tiles.
