Hey Adam, Can you clarify this point:
Since no one can be forced to secure his/her connection (WLAN can also
come from outside where even policies cannot be applied) Especially what you meant by no one can be forced? Are you trying to prevent your users from being 'hijacked' by rogue points or are you worried about users setting up and using rogue points whilst at the same time connected to your network?

The point is, no matter what network security measurements are taken, if an access point or a client with an unsecured connections appears, it is an optimal possibility to override each security measurement, opening a backdoor. Since no one can be forced to secure his/her connection (WLAN can also come from outside where even policies cannot be applied) i look for a possibility to jam the AP for a certain area. Of course, another possibility can be to go to each workstation and disable or secure its wireless NIC, which will most likely be an overhead. Thank you in advance for your feedback. cheers!
