A friend who knows my involvement with NS just sent this. He works for a chain store that just issued this memo to their IT Teams.

Requirement 11.1B - Use a wireless analyzer at least quarterly to identify all wireless devices in use.
The Network Asset PCI asset team recommends the Network Stumbler application as a wireless network analyzer, which is available for download from the NetStumbler download site. This document provides instructions on how to use Network Stumbler.
Network Stumbler needs to be installed on a laptop computer with wireless network capability as it uses the system’s wireless network interface to scan for wireless access points. The wireless interface radio needs to be enabled before running the application.
All locations in Northern California must be scanned at least once a quarter. All scan results will be stored here: [redacted]
Start Network Stumbler and follow these steps:
1. Click Device in the top menu bar and select the wireless interface card to use for scanning.
2. Select File > Enable Scan.
3. The application will begin to populate the user interface with all wireless access points detected in range.
When the list of detected access points is complete, a report can be exported with the following steps:
1. Click File > Export > Summary. This will bring up a Save File dialog box.
2. Enter a filename including the location code and date stamp and give it an .xls file extension.
3. Save** the file; it will be viewable in Microsoft Excel.
4. Email the scan file to [redacted]
**When saving the scan report, please use this naming convention:

I sure hope they send Marius some cash for the corporate use. The chain is one of these new-age places that yaps about "social responsibility" and sells $180 t-shirts.
Oh, yeah; Be prepared for the inevitable "how come my card doesn't work" questions.
