Off the top of my head, no I don't. My test environment was just having the
one system transfer a lot of data to another system while looking for IV
collisions on a third system.

If you were just replaying the same packet over and over I'm not sure that
that's good enough. The easiest approach would be something like I did by
using three systems. If you don't have a third system but you have two, then
have one system repeatedly download many small files or a couple large ones
(if you've been meaning to download something like Knoppix STD, here's a
good time to do it!) while running airodump on the second system.

A capture of approximately one hour of steady traffic at 11 MB from a
802.11B card to a 802.11G card was sufficient for aircrack to crack my WEP
key from my testing. Your mileage may vary.
