The first main use case for the deauth packets is when someone is broadcasting your SSID but they're not actually part of your network. The second use case is when a client that you actually own (corporate laptop) connects to an access point it's not supposed to. And nobody will really mind if you do those.
This anti-competitive use case is another matter.
- bhhaskin 12y agoI mind. You can't own an SSID and they are not uniquely set. Just because you have the same SSID as me what gives you the right to deauth my router?
- wil421 12y agoWhat is the use case for using an SSID that is already taken? Especially in a business or corporate environment.
- greglindahl 12y agoThe use-case doesn't really matter; it's against the regulations for that radio band to interfere with other people's usage. Even if you think they're attempting to commit fraud.

- wil421 12y agoRight about radio but the thread was talking about Cisco sending deauth packets to rouge APs.
- greglindahl 12y ago... as was I! Just because you consider an AP to be rogue doesn't mean it's legal for you do something about it.
