The article was not clear on one thing. I have to assume Google only know the location of a wireless network. How can Google sniff out a wired router?

Assuming it really is just wireless routers, what if the router is in stealth mode? Can a sniffer still find it? I know a wireless router is broadcasting RF signals so I guess a receiver can find even a stealth router, but the average computer can't see it.
