I use russix (live CD) Linux! pen and paper, 5mins later i have the WEP key :)
The only problem is the Live CD don't work with IBM laptops YET! also found some problems finding various WI-FI cards :(
You can try and play it on any local WEP network first.

What is the reason that it will not work with IBM laptops? I booted russix up on my T60P and was able to scan all available wifi networks, i did not have a clue what i was doing though and the only wifi networks around were WPA2... Would love to know how to work it properly, guess i need to try a few more time, unless you know some tips etc...

The IBM range i've have had problems with are T23 to T42 and T61, to be fair not tryed it with T43 or T60 range, althought theirs not a great difference between the T60 to the T61? yet can't get it to work, falls over when loading?
