Ok so ignore for the fact that I am not the most savvy person in the world math-wise..but it was my understanding that one of the flaws with RC4 encryption (the encryption behind WEP) was known to be flawed because of the intialization vectors. What I had heard was that if anything, 128 bit was easier to break with this method because of the larger keyspace. Now, like I said, I don't claim to fully understand this...i know pretty much what can and can't be done with WEP but I never got into the guts of encryption.

Anyone here want to correct/clear up this issue for me?
