aircrack-ng mycapture-01.ivs

and hope for the best.

aircrack will try to crack the key, and if you have enough data captured it should crack the key eventually. If not, it will keep trying, as you gather more and more data, until you are successful (or never if you are unlucky, or if there is not enough traffic on the network)
So you decide how much data is collected? or airodump stops automatically after enough data collected for cracking?
