Determining request

Is there a way to detect whether a request came in from a wired
network versus a wireless network? Our setup is as follows:
Main DHCP server that dishes out IPs based on MAC addresses. This
is wired into our main switch. From that switch I also have a wireless
access point. A wireless device will send a request out which goes
through the access point to the DHCP server and back. The wireless
class is set to allow unknown-clients.
If a wired device sends a request, and it has *not* been defined
already through it's MAC, DHCP will automatically drop it in the
wireless group and pool. I don't want that. For our wired network, I
don't want anything to be able to get an IP unless it's already
defined. For the wireless one, they should all go in the wireless pool
and get an IP from there.
So, is there some way to determine if a request came in from a wired
device versus a wireless one?
