All linksys MACs will have an address with one of these prefixes:
00045A The Linksys Group,
000625 The Linksys Group, In
000C41 The Linksys Group, In
000F66 Cisco-Linksys
001217 Cisco-Linksys, LLC
001310 Cisco-Linksys, LLC
e.g.
00:04:5A:xx:xx:xx
Plug a laptop into any worrisome network segments and look for a linksys
MAC address. If the linksys routers talk IPv6:
ping6 -w ff02:1%fxp0 (or %eth0 or whatever your interface is)
Otherwise do a broadcast ping, a ping sweep, or whatever will tickle a
linksys router.
(friendly reminder: the host's MAC address will not be preserved if the
packet goes through a router)
