Yes, it's my home network, I've been reading about WEP cracking, so I'm trying to test to see if my network is really as vulnerable as all of these articles state. I have not patched any drivers, but as I said, the card is working and I can get packets. As for aireplay, doesn't it just look for ARP packets? I would first need to initiate a deauth so that an ARP packet will be generated. Isn't that what Void11 does? Also, will I be able to run this at the same time as running airodump, will there be anything wrong with having 2 programs trying to access the wireless card? Again, this is my first time ever trying this and I have very limited knowledge in networking. I'm just trying to gain a basic understanding of how WEP cracking works and later, how I can defend myself against intrusion. Thanks.

Edit: Also, I may have access to a second laptop, but I am trying to do this as much as I can on a single laptop if it is possible.
