    Hello,

    There is another method to find the key without trying to crack wep data,
    You can use Evil Twin access point attack.

    You setup another access point near by and you try to provide
    stronger signal and exactly the same channel (and same SSID)
    as the AP under attack , when this happen Clients will try to
    connect to your access point that mimic a legitimate. Using this method
    you might be able to retreive the WEP password.

    All the needed info (SSID , channel etc) for this attack can be provided by
    many
    WLAN analysis tools for windows .

    I haven't done it, but it sounds reasonable

    thx
    Manos
