    I suppose it could be useful for an administrator trying to sniff out network vulnerabilities. I know of one large company that's become very paranoid about wireless access points after discovering a few unauthorized installations on the company LAN. There wasn't any plot behind it, just a few employees experimenting, but there were holes that could've been exploited nonetheless.

    Other than that, I can think of better uses for my time than trying to spy on my neighbor's network traffic.
