I believe -a needs to be used in conjunction with -w:

dwepdump -w -a wi0 /path/to/logfile

Now, you need to set you wicontrol so the card is listening on the 
channel you wish to dump from.  You should be able to determine this 
using dstumbler of course :-)  Then, you might be doing a sequence 
similar to :

wicontrol wi0 -p 3 -f  11
prism2ctl wi0 -m
dwepdump -w -a wi0 /foo/bar

Keep in mind that collecting packets can take a long time too. 
 Particularly if your "neighbours" network has little activity on it.
