depending on how the clients in your network get their ip addresses, you might be able to search through your dhcp logs and pull all of the ap mac addresses. this discounts rogue aps with statics, but if i was to drop a rogue ap into a network, i would probably turn on dhcp, then let it go.
Ahh, but this is useless if the AP DHCPs an address and then NATs everyone on wireless.
a good site for mac address/vendor coorelation is: http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/oui.txt
I disagree with the entire "find them by Vendor MAC prefix to find APs" approach. Many vendors are assigned blocks of MAC prefixes (look at Cisco, for example) and share these blocks between disparate devices, both wired and wireless. --john -- John Adams . Sr. Security Engineer .
