ManageEngine do have some free versions of their software, which is what I use for simple reporting on servers and high interest devices. However as I said before, depending on the company, the investment in the full version might be worth it.

My biggest problem with Linux is: You get what you pay for, whether it's in cash or labor hours.

Or kismet, which is passive, rather than actively probing like NetStumbler does. Since it does not rely on probing to detect networks, and rather just listens for any wifi traffic, it will detect APs even if they have their SSID broadcast disabled, and won't give you away as someone searching for the rogue AP. kismet is also open source, if that matters to you at all. It also has built-in GPS support, through the gpsd daemon.

I'm pretty sure kismet in the BackTrack live cd, so if you run that (no installation needed), you can run kismet without the hassle of installing a new OS (linux) and compiling kismet. It's possible you may have driver issues for your wifi card, however.
