I have the wordlist containing the WPA key. If i press "Decrypt Packets" - "WPA" - "Select Dictionary" - "my_wordlist.txt" why i cant press Decrypt ?
Should i have to select a cap file first and then press Decrypt to find my key..?
i want to know if my dictionary is wrong ..
Read from here steps 2 and 4. My effort was to automate (as much as possible) those steps.

In short you need to capture the 4-way authentication handshake for the AP. This is stored in the .cap file and you test it against a wordlist (aka dictionary). So you need to choose both before the decrypt button becomes active.
