Limit the target set.  Limit the dictionary to the 200 most common
passwords.  Run tables for all 1-8 character alpha-only SSID
combinations and include the factory default ssids.  Might take a little
time to generate.  See how successful it is and let us know.

If you have time, add numerals to the ssid set...
