Brian,

To me it looks like you have too many packets. The warning on there is just
saying that it'll require brute forcing, when you get > 60 for each key you
should get the key immediately without any brute forcing. Otherwise, you
only need  ~ > 20. Also, are you using dwepdump to capture the traffic? If
not, it's gonna cause you problems.
