I'm not sure exactly how much information is required before the encryption can be successfully cracked. I let kisMAC run for about 5 or 6 minutes collecting packets (while I got my popcorn), but to answer your question, the iBook cracked the 128 bit encryption after collecting a sufficient number of packets.
WEP is notorious for being breakable, and if someone wants to break it, they'll break it. Having the extra level of encryption made me feel a little more at ease with my mail checking, etc etc, but being the administrator on a few mail servers, I had the ability to setup secure pop3 on the mail server. I'm not sure of your situation, so this might not be an option.

Did you iBook collect enough information and crack it in 12 seconds, or after collecting enough packets? (you do not state how long this operation (packet collection) took)
