It can be used to share Mii(s) on Mii Plaza for example. Games' StreetPass data is stored on SD card.

Using Wireshark tool with a WiFi card in monitor mode allow you to see the data used to scan for other 3DS in the range. The below is a broadcast probe request from an 3DS while in standby mode, with SSID "Nintendo_3DS_continuous_scan_000". When in "active" mode, 3DS sends probe requests with arbitrary SSID strings, like "ic[kSvm9s@*cYD>/~IEVj\(fGG;qDo8j".

This frame also contains a custom Nintendo tag, it seems to contain unknown console unique data, since the contents of this tag from different 3ds captures don't match.
When in standby mode, ds-mode NTR wifi is used,(this includes SpotPass and StreetPass) but in "active" mode the regular TWL wifimmc bus is used.
