You could report open networks, and laptops with peer connections.

The risk an open network poses is a user hoping on and bypassing the
corporate firewall, or worse, bridging the internal protected network on
a nic card with the external, unprotected network.

For laptops, or 'probes', someone on the outside cool put up a phony
access point and allow a laptop to join it.
Also, this usually indicates an access point at home.  If these users
have access points at home, and use their corporate laptop to access it,
there could be a third angle of attack and exposure to corporate data,
either stored on the laptop, or maybe accessed via home to corporate lan
(through the wireless access point at home)
