Yes...

IP Address of gateway: Use Ettercap
Create Traffic- ICMP Ping Flood Tool
WEP Key being used: Aircrak or Snort

Hope that helps, collecting enough WEP IV's in aircrack can take some
time, you will need approx. 200k-500l; depending on the amount of
traffic is on the network, that is where the ICMP ping flood tool
comes in. Aircrack will crack the WEP key in a few seconds, if you
tell it how long the WEP key is, it will do it faster, otherwise you
will need to wait a few more seconds
