I have not run the dwepdump program yet so I do not know.  A brief glance
at the source code would reveal that the "packets received: " output is
a weak key packet counter.  If that is not the case then my naivity in
C is exposed, oh well.  As far as I can tell that output is what you
are referring to.

h1kari made a reply to someone in regards to running dwepcrack:
"Make sure you're collecting enough weak iv's. You should have at least 20   
for all of the key bytes in order to crack it in a timely manner. If you
have enough, try running with different fudge (-f <num>) values starting
from 1, this specifies how far dwepcrack will search for the key in the
probabilities tables. If you aren't collecting enough weak ivs, I'm guessing
that one of your wireless cards is running a driver that blocks out some of
the weak ivs or does the funky iv repeating stuff. If you're still having
problems, post more info to the list so we can try and figure out what's
going on."
