Ok, I managed to get it to work on my home network. I have 2 NICs (one is an integrated Intel 2200BG Centrino and one is a cardbus Cisco Aironet a/b/g. With the builtin NIC I initiated a ping flood (i.e. ping 192.168.0.1 -t) and with the Cisco NIC I ran airodump for about 24 hrs to capture 300,000 IVs. It found the key in about 10 seconds.

Questions:
1. Is it normal for it to take this long to capture enough IVs to crack the WEP key?

2. How would this work in a real-world scenario? Do you have to sniff that long to get enough IVs? (i.e if somebody was sitting outside in the parking lot and there's hardly any activity on the WLAN, would they have to sniff that long to get enough IVs?)

3. If there's more activity on the wireless LAN, I'm assuming you get more IVs faster, right??
