Thankfully, we don't have a high volume of rogue access points in our dorms. 
But... I just saw my first 5 GHz 160 MHz wide flame-throwing problem child. 
Curiously, the OUI identifies it as a Cisco device. Wide AND loud, for your 
viewing pleasure. Get enough of these sorts of devices in one building, and 5 
GHz will fast become the same cesspool that 2.4 GHz has become, or worse.

And as an added bonus, also found a Canon printer that is doing 40 GHz channel 
width from channel 3 as it's out of box default.

Anyone else seeing a new class of problem devices in this regard?
