Possession shouldn't extend beyond personal pride in your work.
Yea, I get that a lot from the users. "It's my computer! I'll give it to you when I'm done!" This coming from an idiot who's spamming the district with virus ridden emails. It's not their computer, the money used to buy it came out of our department's budget. You're right, it's not technically my/our network, it's the company's, but like technut said, it's my job to protect the network and keep the data safe, and flowing. I'm not going to let one user break it for every one else. I've also been known to yank personal wifi access points right off the wall. Yea, it's a little over the top, and yea, I did have to answer for it with my boss, but, it got the point across. Word got around, and everyone went looking at the AUP to see if I was in the wrong. Guess what, I wasn't. It clearly states that personal equipment will be confiscated. The last thing we need is for another lawsuit because little Jimmy's personal info was snarfed off our network because some ***** thought it would be cool to have his own personal wifi network.

Airmon-ng will show associated macs. Gives you a nice list of what mac is associated with what access point mac. Mac authentication is right next to useless.
