It is OK for an enterprise wifi system to make this sort of attack *on rogue APs which are trying to pretend to be part of it (same ESSID).
What if the ESSID is "Free Internet", or if the network is completely open? Does it change things if you have data that shows your customers can be duped even by networks with a non-colliding ESSID?
To the best of my knowledge, not under the current regulatory framework. It’s not considered harmful interference if the SSID isn’t conflicting. The fact that your users are stupid isn’t license for you to attack someone else’s network. Owen
