Yes; but this is highly driver-specific as each driver has to implement correct WPA2/ieee802.1x support. The best drivers for WPA right now are the Intel Pro/Wireless ones. If you're not using the IPW drivers, you may wish to verify that your card works with wpa_supplicant (http://hostap.epitest.fi/wpa_supplicant/ ). When in doubt, give NM a try and see if it works. It should. > and if I'm able to give a static > IP-address to my wlan interface. This is distribution specific. If you've configured your card for a static IP address in Fedora for example, you would use the normal system-config-network tool (which writes settings to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<iface>) to set up the static IP address, DNS server, broadcast address, etc. NM will then pick these settings up and use them when configuring that interface. If not, there is likely a bug in the code that handles your specific distribution's configuration files for NetworkManager.
