Both the ISS scanner and the airdefense product were reviewed in the
recent infosecurity mag, volume5 number 7 July 2002.

The ISS scanner was mentioned to cover many bases but lack maturity.  The
airdefense product got listed as the 'hot pick'.  It's 'stateful
inspection engine' seems to be configurable, and as mentioned before
claims to beable to pickup netstumbler like sniffers, apparently in a
passive sniffing mode.  This second product is marketed more as a wireless
IDS.

Thanks,
