Ok replying to a REALLY old thread here but I'm reading up on this in general.

I agree you aren't attacking the AP as such but you would be denying anyone connecting to it, so is it no longer functioning? Are you denying service? Yes, obviously that is the point of the Deauth.

So it is kind of a DoS on equip you don't own but for the greater good...I think it's grey at best.
