They state in their chart (excerpt below) that Ethereal does not handle
"Rogue AP detection.  Is this correct?


Yes.


Will this feature be added some time soon?
Only if somebody contributes code to implement it soon. Ethereal doesn't currently have a lot of the "expert" mechanisms that some other network analyzers do; much of that analysis would have to be done by hand by somebody looking at the capture, or by a script (Perl, Python, Ruby, shell, whatever) that processes, for example, the output of Tethereal (I don't know of any that do rogue AP detection).
