You need a very very busy network that is using WEP. Usually, it takes a long time even on a busy network.

Collecting weak packages won't work any more with newer AP's as they don't send out those any more. The same goes for new Wireless Cards. If this is not the case there is probably no or very little traffic so getting a weak package will take a long time.

Unfortunately I don't have my laptop with me to check the config, but I remember there being a setting in kismet config that related to "fuzzy encryption" or some such. You can enable it for different cards... I needed to enable it on mine before any encrypted packets would be seen. Once I did that, I saw encrypted and every so often, weak packets. You may want to give that a shot.
