Find rogue networks the same way their users do, with netstumbler or

one, or that's offering up addresses beyond the approved wireless range
gets hunted down.

Netstumbler is great at finding "mis-configured" WAPs, or those with
SSID broadcast enabled.  If the user has disabled the broadcast, nothing
short of a wireless sniffer is going to see it.
