it is much easier. just select the network you want to crack and choose
the right attack. pcap dumps are only for export into other programs
such as ethereal.
please note that there is a bug in current kismac implementations,
which can prevent the working window from disappearing, if the cracking
process is too fast (yes it is weired).
