The plaintext content of the arp-replies does not vary. But the wifi hardware increments its IV counter before encrypting each reply, therefore it does provide new usable IVs; which is the point of this attack.

You mustn't be too far from the AP though; also, it's better to perform the attack with multiple cards resending the arp-requests, so that the maximum bandwidth is reached. This usually doesn't go unnoticed
