WitchDr. AirSnare doesn't need an AP it will work with a wired LAN. And NSSpyglass doesn't need an AP that is part of the LAN. Does that help? Granted you'll get more interesting results if it is, but they both will work the other way too.
You want to play with NSSpyglass? Set up an AP, give it the name of your company or another close by. Set it up to pass out DHCP address, and sit back and wait. Someone will be by soner or later. If he is like me, all he will want to know is that you exist, and where you are. If he's not happy with that, well it will take him a bit to find out you AP doesn't connect to anything.
Want to run Nsspyglass in just DHCP mode, seems like you don't really need an AP, I can set it up to run off of my Cisco router. Ok I will not detect stumbler that way, but I can see DHCP request that way. Which will get me a list of MAC address.
Hmm Jay it seems to me, that it would be nice to start up AirSnare, and have the ability to add the MAC address it finds to the friendly list. With a count option. So that I know my approved list has 5 devices or 17, or a 100 devices. That could save a lot of time. I would bet that a lot of shops will not have a list of mac address. They might know that all of there NIC are 3Com, or some other brand. But I would bet that people running in DHCP server mode know a lot less about there equipment, than say people running in static mode.
