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.

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-) 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.
