Ahh, but indeed. It's of course smarter to block access from the APs instead of just trying to detect them. AFAIK no Wireless APs can do 802.1x authentication to connect to the LAN, even though most can accept wireless 802.1x clients.

These links quickly popped to my search at cisco.com:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/pd/sqsw/sq/tech/deacs_wp.htm

Of course, those links only work on Cisco catalysts.
