See Network Magazine, Dec 2001, p. 74, article: "Wireless Security: A
Contradiction in Terms?"  That article lists a bunch of Web sites with
relevant material, including software for cracking WEP.  One quote: "While
extensions to WEP permit 128-bit keys, the WEP design makes this a
practically worthless addition."  Your mileage may vary.
