The sticking point with this sort of thing always seems to be accounting for the endless possibilities of interface names. I just found this article for a VB script and it says that it accounts for that by querying the adapter names first, but I haven't tried it myself.

PowerShell or VB to evaluate this would be ideal....at the moment I am just iterating through subnet IP addresses and identifying whether machines have one that's in a wireless range or not, and that doesn't modularize very well. All ideas appreciated!
