I don't see how this info:

"A3D. If you leave TCP/IP enabled, your adapter may attempt to get a DHCP lease or send other traffic. NetStumbler will record the fact that you were issued an IP address."

... makes any mention of the IP Address column nor how it functions.

It also does not specify where TCP\IP is to be left enabled, i.e., within
Netstumbler, within the wireless device, within the OS network settings, etc.
NetStumbler does not have any TCP/IP functions. It merely reads IP information from a device. TCP/IP is a OS function that operates on a given network device. Taken all together, for the given wireless device being used with NetStumber, TCP/IP functions have to be enabled for that device at the OS level in order to see any IP information in that column.

If don't understand where TCP/IP fits on a system, it would appear that you're in over your head in regards to networking. You might want to read this: Networking 101
