Useless.  WEP64 can be cracked in about 15 minutes of sniffing.
And 128-bit wep? How secure's that?

There's not too much difference between them because the weaknesses in WEP are not in the actual encryption algorithm itself (RC4) but in the way it is implemented in WEP. It might take a little bit longer to find a longer key.
