because it's an interesting question. It explains why WEP is bad to use, as opposed to the handwave of "it's easy to crack." Therefore, while it could have been better worded (perhaps "why exactly is wep bad to use?"), the question is, in my humble opinion, deserving of being asked here.

younata, I just read the question once again, I wish it was about why it's bad to use WEP, it is not. He clearly describes what he is doing or trying to do, and wonder why it doesn't work, he's looking for a way to make it work (crack WEP) for Evil or not Evil intention is not the point.

In no way does it explain why WEP is bad to use, suer the answers may at some extend help one to understand why WEP is bad to use. A google search on "why is not good to use Wep" is very helpful.

if you read well, you see he already knows how to get it to work, using the tools he mentioned. the only thing he asks here is why and how those tools work.
