We also use this for debugging some wireless drivers.  The (unstable)
raw events can capture entire packets and produce psuedo-pcap files with
a plugin so we can compare what we thought went over the air versus what
actually did, and correlate them with api-level tracepoints in upper
layers.  It's perhaps a bit of a bending of the infrastructure, but one
that has been helpful.
