Netstumbler Questions

Just started using Netstumbler on a Alfa Realtek 8187L.

Get nothing in the IP address field nor the "Name" field,does that mean my radio is not compatible in some fashion?

Pardon my ignorance, but I am new to this. There are two headings SNR+ and SNR. What's the diff?

I see that the lower the lower the SNR dbM reading on the graph the stronger the signal, correct? All the Noise readings are -100 ; I am guessing that means I have a weak reception everywhere? The SNR varies from 17 to 46 depending on the MAC, but there does not seem to be much of a direct relationship between this reading and throughput, why?

Also is there any url to look up the various flags? How do I tell which if any APs are interfering with the one I am connected to?

Sorry for so many questions, any assistance welcomed, thanks.
