Isn't that for port scanning a given host to detect port changes rather 
than being able to detect entire rogue wifi access points which from my 
exploration of this a year or two ago actually requires wifi sensors and 
equipment at both ends, which is what the (very good) proprietary 
solutions do.

I found that it was mainly the cost that was the biggest inhibitor with 
those systems and management may well take the stance that they simply 
don't want to spend that much to close this potential hole.
