The IV is utilized by the RC4 steaming chipher that WEP encryption uses. The IV is a block of 24 bits that is combined with a static key. It is sent in cleartext and is different on every frame. The effective key strength of combining the IV with the 40-bit static key is 64-bit encryption. TKIP uses an extended IV.
