I have problems on my new laptop to get wireless to work (ubuntu7.04)

Then I found the following URL's:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs

http://www.ossgeeks.co.uk/?p=166
and got wireless to work with dhcp.

Now I have tried to get wireless to work using static IP addresses, but it
will not (I intend to use ssh between my 2 computers)

I have the following setup up's GUI's options:
K - Settings - Internet & Network - Network settings
K - System - Network
K - Internet - Wicd (Network Manager)
and have all sat up with IP address, in order not to let any out.

If you have not edited your /etc/network/interfaces file so far, do it.
Dump these lines -

---------
auto eth0 (which device, eth0/1/2 etc..)
iface eth0 inet static (make it static)
address 10.1.1.13 (should be what static IP you want the device to get)
netmask 255.0.0.0 (network mask)
broadcast 10.255.255.255 (bcast address)
gateway 10.1.1.1 (where your router resides)
---------

$ man ifconfig
$ ifconfig
$ man ifup
$ sudo ifup eth0
$ man ethtool
$ sudo ethtool eth0

enjoy!
