In the enterprise environment that there's been some insistence from folks 
on this list is a legitimate place to block "rogue" APs, what makes those 
SSIDs, "yours"?  Just because they were used first by the enterprise? 
That doesn't seem to hold water in an unlicensed environment to me at all.

If the Marriott can't do this, I don't think anyone can, legally.

Now, granted, if I'm doing it with the intent to disrupt the corporate 
network or steal data, there's certainly other laws to deal with that, but 
I don't think even that is justification for spoofed deauth.
