knetworkmanager+static ip+wpa/tkip

[qoobeq]

I'd like to set static ip, but unfortunately I can't manage
Everything works great with dhcp. If somebody could spare a minute and have a look at this.
Some output (running on dhcp):
ifconfig

iwconfig

eth0   no wireless extensions.

Then I change /etc/network/interfaces to:

 auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.50
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.254
pre-up iwconfig eth1 mode managed
pre-up ifconfig eth1 down
pre-up ifconfig eth1 up
pre-up iwconfig eth1 essid dupa
pre-up iwpriv eth1 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
pre-up iwpriv eth1 set WPAPSK=8e8fe2e7ce75254fdcb85172ffd7d699b3d136cb3fb6a1a48cd1581b64f18333
pre-up iwpriv eth1 set EncrypType=TKIP

and when I try to reload network:

 sudo /etc/init.d/networking force-reload
 * Reconfiguring network interfaces...                                              Invalid command : set
Failed to bring up eth1.
                                                             [ OK ]

Anybody knows what I'm doing wrong?
Just to add that I'm running Gutsy Gibbon on Dell Precision M70 with ipw2200. I've just checked

 iwpriv eth1
eth1   Available private ioctls :
     set_power    (8BE0) : set  1 int  & get  0
     get_power    (8BE1) : set  0    & get 80 char
     set_mode     (8BE2) : set  1 int  & get  0
     get_mode     (8BE3) : set  0    & get 80 char
     set_preamble   (8BE4) : set  1 int  & get  0
     get_preamble   (8BE5) : set  0    & get 16 char
     reset      (8BE6) : set  0 int  & get  0
     sw_reset     (8BE7) : set  0 int  & get  0
     monitor     (8BE8) : set  2 int  & get  0

Anyone knows how my /etc/network/interfaces should looks like?

Re: knetworkmanager+static ip+wpa/tkip

It doesn't really answer your question, but can you configure your router to always give a specific address to your computer? Seems that would be the easiest solution, if it's an option for you.

Re: knetworkmanager+static ip+wpa/tkip

I know that's the way around, but:
1. static ip is more secure
2. when I turn on dhcp, I somehow can't connect my PocketPC to my WLAN
3. I can't believe that static ip and wpa don't work together on Gutsy Gibon especially with ipw2200
4. I know I could use different network manager, and I think I'll have to start using one, but that's not really an answer

any ideas?
