Subject: [OS2Wireless]WEP Encryption a bad joke??

While in the process of building a USB memory stick bootable OS/2 system I also decided to dump some Linux distro on there.
In the process of research I found that there are ready2write bootable USB Linux distros with modules that claim they can hack even into 128 WEP encryption from an ordinary laptop w/o any added user intervention.
They gave no specifics about the time required, but state that a few captured packages would do the trick.
Now can that be and if so, then what is the much hailed WEP encryption actually worth???
