For doing analysis of the RF/WiFi environment, the following tools are useful:WiSpy - PC dongle to do 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrum capture.  Can show 802.11 and non-802.11 interference.http://www.metageek.net/products/wi-spy/inSSIDer - Free scanning tool to show other 802.11 networks within range.http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/

Basic network scans are also available using the wireless utility in your PC or Mac.

Also for RF/WiFi environments if you have an iPad/iPhone/iPod TouchWiPry - iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch dongle for 2.4GHz analysishttp://www.oscium.com/products/wipry-combo-spectrum-analyzer-and-dynamic-power-meterThe power meter function is quite handy if you want to make duty cycle measurements or measure actual TX times.

Update on Wireshark:The latest version of Wireshark (1.8.8 and later) now works out of the box when decoding packets with WPA/WPA2 security.
