IBM unveils wireless IDS service

Infoworld reports that IBM launched a new managed IDS service for wireless today.

Apparently the IDS can detect the presence of unauthorized ("rogue") access points, denial of service attacks, improperly configured access points and compromised Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption keys. Sounds nifty.

The kicker.... they use small embedded linux devices to do it!
