WifiKill - Kick users off the wireless network

Was playing around with my Android phone and came across this app called WiFiKill.
It's a simple app that allows you to "kick" users off wireless network that you are in. You'll need to root your android device before you can install the app, as it needs root access.

Details and download can be found on their project page, same guy(s) that do faceniff:

I tried this at home and it worked like a charm. Clean user interface and easy to use. Simply select the client you want to drop and that's it.  I tested this on an enterprise wireless network and it failed to work.
My suspicion is that the app uses ARP spoofing and hence why it doesn't work on enterprise networks that have DHCP and ARP protection. Will need to do some packet captures to confirm this.
