I would use nmap to port scan/banner grab all port 80 and drop any IIS,
Apache, Netscape then I would then check manually the rest of ip that
matched.

I would also check the mac address of the network device on my network,
and then veryfying manually all the device that matched the mac. There
is list of mac address used by accesspoint available freely on the net
http://svn.kismetwireless.net/code/trunk/conf/ap_manuf. If your switch
and routers are snmp enabled, you could probe them to find trace of
those mac been used. Advantage with this solution is that you'll notice
quickly if a AP get hooked in.
