The first dump has even more unique IV's than the second dump ... anyone has a reasonable explanation for this?
It's not always a matter of how many IVs you collect. There is some luck involved. Depending on the distribution of IVs, the number of keys that need to be tried can vary. In my tests, it the number of IVs collected has varied from as little as 80k and as high as 800k to discover a 64bit key. Most of the time the key is found somewhere in the 100-200krange.
