Newbie question re: consumer-grade APs

[Bill Amatneek]

I am designing an R/F system for a client. It will have one R/F PDT 
(Portable Data Terminal) and four Access Points, possibly connected in a 
linear configuration (AP "A" is wired to the network, but AP "D" RFs its 
data to "C", "C" RFs to "B" and "B" R/Fs to "A". This will be 802.11b 
technology.

The client is concerned about "drive-by hackers," (aka rogue access 
points). I've tried to come up to speed on Kerberos and other security 
measures. But I have found at least one major issue that I don't offhand 
see an answer to:

If the drive-by hacker is using a consumer-grade access point, will it be 
silent and invisible to the Kerberos server? That is, will I have to 
monitor the wireless airwaves with probes that listen to R/F communications 
in the proximity of the wired network if I use Kerberos?

Many thanks in advance.
Best,
Bill Amatneek
