using static IP with NetworkManager

[beast]

Today NetworkManager finally works on my  intel 3945ABG chipset., though 
it only support WEP only.
However i still confuse about setting up my interface to use static IP.
I've put it on /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1, but still did 
not work. Where should i edit the config file? is it not automatically 
synch with ifcfg-eth1 file?
I could use ifconfig, but I prefer the right way.

Anyone having success story using NM with WRT54GL with WPA2?
