Bingo!

I looked into it recently for professional purposes and it's really not that simple. AFAIK, it requires that you use a fairly common but not universal network card chipset to do the injections needed to gather enough data to break that key. That alone deters a hell of a lot of people.

Picking up MAC addresses and spoofing those is a cakewalk by comparison.

The FBI gave a demonstration 2 years ago on how to crack WEP, takes them about 5 min. Text also has what tools they used.

That's pretty cool

Only certain programs require the PRISM 2 chipset. Others have universal support. It really does take all of 5 minutes to get the key.
