I have Wififofum running on my iPAQ and it can detect peers (clients).
I can fire up an app like NetStumbler and see all the APs within range.
Is there something similar which detects clients?

I asked the same question some time ago, but nobody seems to know. Does Kismet really detects clients ?!
NETGEAR is one client and the oddly named ones below it are part of a city wide network. the data networks are cisco access points that pester any and all cisco clients within range,and all the rest are AP's
I think you will find that they are ad-hoc(peer to peer) networks.

How will AirSnare detect wireless clients that do *NOT* connect to the access point where the only data it can obtain is sniffing the ethernet LAN port traffic? Sure, it will detect connection attempts but not every client is setup to connect to every access point it hears.
