The setup consists of 5 Cisco access points in the Washington D.C. area, with two extra antennas (high gain omni's) plugged in. The network itself has a bunch of comps with various vulnerabilities, similar to a traditional honeypot. At the present, the network doesn't have a net connection, but the administrator is considering hooking it through a web proxy that would add a consent-to-monitor banner, so he can watch who's doing what. Time to find a WiFi card that can MAC-hop."
