I would like to ask about the Aircrack 2.2 Beta 12 and final one. It's about to crack WEP, I found that you increased the fudge factor from 2 to 3 for 128-bit and 2 to 6 for 64-bit aims at the success rate of the crack process. The default fudge factor shown in Aircrack 2.2 Final is 2. (When typing aircrack with no options.) That should be changed.

This fudge factor changed seems to be really slow down the whole cracking process. From my test, with the same packet I got the following result (Use default setting with -n 128 option):

128-bit 400,130 Unique Packets
- Aircrack 2.1 took more than 10 mins. So, I stop.
- Aircrack 2.2 Beta 7 took only 7 seconds and success
- Aircrack 2.2 Beta 12 and Final took 21.43 mins

I also tested it with 500k - 800k Unique packets. One of them already took 7 hours and I'm waiting for the result. The same packets with Aircrack 2.2 Beta 7 took only 18 second.

I remember that I also try to reduce fudge factor once but the result seems to be slow anyway. I will test it again once I'm done with above 7 hours process I'm waiting right now. (Tested with fudge factor set to 2 but it took more than an hour anyway.)
