    Does anyone know of a quick method or automated tool for accomplishing
    the following:
    I have a pcap dump using Kismet Wireless sniffer on a BSSID using
    128-bit WEP encryption. If I think I know the 26 character HEX WEP
    key, is there a way to easily decrypt all of the traffic for a
    specific BSSID based on input of this WEP key, and then display the
    decrypted pcap output in Ethereal? Or another way of seeing if this
    WEP key is able to decrypt from the pcap dump for that specific BSSID?
