Drexel University has wi-fi throughout campus. Its main wi-fi network, dragonfly3, allows any device to connect using WPA2 (with your student account as your login). But it also has dragonfly and dragonfly2, which are secured with only WEP, but only allow whitelisted MAC addresses to connect (to prevent strangers who have cracked the password from connecting). Each student has a customizeable list of up to only two MAC addresses, editable through a web interface, that they can keep on the whitelist.
When I was living in a dorm on campus, I had two devices (gaming consoles) whose OSs didn’t support WPA2, meaning I had to connect them to dragonfly2. These two devices filled up my whitelist. And occasionally, the dragonfly3 network signal totally dropped out while I was using that network on my computer, while the dragonfly2 network stayed accessible. So then I wanted to connect to dragonfly2 with my computer.
To do that, I had to log in to the web interface, select one of my other devices to unlist, and then add my computer’s MAC address in its place. If I had had SpoofMAC, I could have used it to set my computer’s MAC address to match one of my other device’s. Running SpoofMAC would probably have taken much less time than changing my whitelist through the web interface, and would have obviated the need to re-list the removed device when I wanted to use it again.
This is very silly and very pointless. If they already have the WEP keys then grabbing frames to get whitelisted MAC addresses is trivial. This does nothing but make it more annoying for legitimate users.
Also, for these silly things I usually keep a DD-WRT capable router around like the trusty WRT54G or one of the newer Buffalo routers. It's easy to use it in a bridge configuration to have as many devices as you want behind it.
