They are useful for older boards that only support 10/100, and less so for newer systems, however there are some very specific applications which benefit from having additional network ports where you need additional bandwidth available, more than a single gigabit connection can provide, most of the data being accessed would have to live in RAM or Flash memory, if you had a system running several of the PCI-E flash memory cards that needed to get accessed remotely by several machines simultaneously, that could make use of multiple gigabit connections.
For most people a single connection is fine, but there is a reason for having multiple ones.

Are you asking why get a 2nd ethernet port ?
Some peeps like to have to use ICS for example

Another use is to bridge access to the internet from your computer to another computer
