The first IP address Wireshark could resolve from this interface.
If no address could be resolved (e.g. no DHCP server available),
"unknown" will be displayed. If more than one IP address could be
resolved, only the first is shown (unpredictable which one in that
case).
The first IP address Wireshark could find for this interface.
You can click on the address to cycle through other addresses
assigned to it, if available.
If no address could be found "unknown" will be displayed.

This checkbox allows you to setup the Wireless interface to capture
all traffic it can recieve, not just the traffic on the BSS to which
it is associated, which can happen even when you set promiscuous mode.
Also it might be necessary to turn this option on in order to see
IEEE 802.11 headers and/or radio information from the captured frames.
