As part of a self assesment program the company may perform war driving (or walking depending on the size of the company footprint) to look for unauthorized APs or APs not meeting the appropriate configuration baselines. Vulnerability scanning with tools like Foundstone or Nessus has some limited means of locating APs from inside the network, but the best method to my mind remains with old fashioned Netstumbler or Kismet for location. Sometimes end users do some not so secure things even when they 'should' know better. I don't know enough about the capabilities of the Femtocells to allow data traffic over it.

As for tethering, again it is not a WiFi A/P, it is a Cellular Pico Cell type device. A wardriver will not be able to pick it up, unless they are nearby, and have the same service provider, and connect to use your network to make calls and send data through your Wireless handset provider. -- I threw out the map a long time ago. Now I follow my own direction!
