FWIW, it is more correct to say either 

0 == bronze
40 == silver
104 == gold

or

0 == bronze
64 == silver
128 == gold

WEP has a 24 bit sequence number that perturbs the encryption. The fact
that 24 bit sequence numbers can be run through on a busy LAN might make
one wish to institute weekly key changes before bothering to go up to
128 bit encryption (that, and the fact that the front door to your house
probably has a lot fewer than 40 bits of security).
