RE: Tool to find rouge wireless access points?

So, I read the question as: How do I determine which APs, that are scanned and detected, are actually on my network. Unfortunately, I don't know of a tool that can effectively do this. Possibly some nmap script-fu?
I read the opposite, like so: I have a network with no wireless access, and multiple physical locations. How do I detect if a user somewhere has connected a wireless access point to a network jack? I could visit each location and use a wifi detector, but then how would I know if an AP I detected is connected to my network, and not the doctor's office next door? Is there a way to scan the *wired* network for connected APs? The netdisco suggestion is a good one, but would seem to rely on the AP having SNMP enabled, and a known community string. NMAP seems to be a useable solution, but is clumsy, and would require knowledge of the AP OS. Do most APs have a bootp service on their wired interface? Is there a list somewhere of AP manufacturers and the MAC address ranges we'd see for their wired interfaces? We could scan switch logs for those MACs.
