You can bypass the requirement if the WIFI Does  NOT in any way transmit or connect to PAN data. If the Wireless 
network does not transmit PAN data and is segmented from the wired network with VPN FW ACL etc. than your WIFI is out 
of scope.

Subject: PCI DSS 11.1 - ".. deploying a wireless IDS/IPS..". Kismet+Snort?

Hello, list!

There is requirement in PCI DSS v.1.2:

"...11.1 Test for the presence of wireless access points by using a wireless analyzer at least quarterly or deploying a 
wireless IDS/IPS to identify all wireless devices in use..."

I made some research for open source wireless IDSs and results are not good.
I found some articles about using together Kismet and Snort but it looks like not best soliution.
Air Snort project is dead. 
What wireless IDS/IPS (especially opensource/free) do you use?
