Can you setup Wifi with a static ip address?

I don't have a problem connecting using udhcpc.

Seriously now??
Those instructions seem to make it more than crystal clear that running udhcpc is a distinct step after running wpa_supplicant!!

A quick search for "dhcp" in manpage of wpa_supplicant(8) bears exactly one result:

Keywords: "such as", "may" :D

Have either of you two who constantly make this out to be simple ever actually done this successfully?
I have spent three days trying to learn these tools and need help from people who have used them successfully in the circumstances I am asking about .... that is why I'm here. I have never said that I have wep so have no idea why that is being mentioned and I have no complaints about dhcpc it works very well .... I was looking for advice from anybody who had actually connected without it.
If you can't help please do not talk down to me because I require a simpler explanation than you would.
I can't believe it's such a steep learning curve to just get a connection with a static ip.
If tc is unsuitable for what I am asking about then please tell me and it will save us all a lot of time.

Sure... but:
1. Only when for some reasons of circumstance dhcp was temporarily less suitable than static config.
2. Only on a WLAN which I'd administrate myself and therefore would have accurate knowledge about which address range is suitable, and info regarding gateway and dns.
There is no difference between statically configuring an established wireless vs. a wired link (and steps have already been hinted in this thread).

Ok ....
1) dhcp is permanently less suitable here as detailed on page 1.
2) Can you tell me how you did it in your option 2 because that is the circumstances I am looking for help with.
You seem to constantly avoid helping me, I don't understand why it should be so difficult for you to help.
I play guitar, if someone asks me how I play something and I know how to do it I tell or show them ...... I don't hint at it or tell them to go and study music.
