Good morning. I'm looking for some hints about where to start looking to

On WEP - it's hopeless. You need to cycle the whole scheme, not the key.
If you really care about security, you need to throw away WEP.

On WPA - I didn't think there is any user-visible key cycling needed, so I
must be missing something.
