How to connect wlanX to Mac address with static IP

Just wondering if there is a way to connect to a wireless network (in this case on wlan0) where I know the MAC address and I wish to use a static IP (e.g., 192.168.1.55) ?

Any help much appreciated! Cheers!

ifconfig wlan0 down
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether MAC_ADRESS
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.1.55
iwconfig wlan0 essid NAME_OF_AP

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Yes, or you can set up your DHCP-server to always give your MAC-address the same IP-address by using bind.
