You can skip wep128 or wep64 or any other wep for that matter,
currently a standard notebook with a supported wireless card running linux
can passively break through wep64/wep128 encryption within 10-30 minutes,
switching to active mode can break through the encryption within 3-5
minutes. Simply put, encryption of the WEP kind is no longer worth the
bother.
Just look around on google, he's a quote I found:
Department: Here's a demo of the FBI, using commonly available and openly
documented hardware & software to crack WEP 128-bit security in three
minutes.

The needed utilites can be freely downloaded of the internet.
