I use static IPs here at home over wireless and all that was required to
set it up was add the network details into /etc/network/interfaces and
restart networking.

/etc/network/interfaces:
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.0.55
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.138
wireless-essid MYESSID
wireless-key MYKEY
auto eth1

$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

$ iwconfig eth1
eth1      IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"MYESSID"
