wlan

Hi everybody when modifiying /etc/network/interfaces, saving it and then executing ifconfig i can't see the modification i made..for example here is part of my

/etc/network/interfaces:

auto wlan1
iface wlan1 inet static
address 192.168.0.60
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.61

you can see that the IP address of my wlan1 is 192.168.0.60 but when typing ifconfig i have this:

wlan1     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:19:70:0f:c2:9c  
          inet adr:192.168.0.1  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Masque:255.255.255.0
          adr inet6: fe80::219:70ff:fe0f:c29c/64 Scope:Lien
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          Packets reçus:758 erreurs:0 :0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:610 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 lg file transmission:1000 
          Octets reçus:73490 (73.4 KB) Octets transmis:127883 (127.8 KB)

(the inet adr:192.168.0.1 and not 198.168.0.60)..if someone can help me I'll be very thankful :)
