Cracking a 152 bits key is just 25% longer than cracking a 128 bits one, as FMS is not exponential to bits number, but close to linear... Not mentionning all the attacks that does not require key knowledge for traffic injection. So if your concern is security, then you should consider dropping WEP rather than using longer keys for a crippled security protocol.
