This question may be related to a resolved thread.
The fact that the {ip_address} variable is inaccessible within the module—seems to me like a bug to be fixed. Using the $SESS variable and putting my template into PHP Input mode means I have to do a lot of awkwardness.

I think it’s just a parse order issue. We have the same issue with the session class in other modules, like the Query module. Personally I’d think it’s more of a Feature Request.

I’ve add a note in the docs repeating the solution. But I added them to EE2’s docs, not EE1’s, and I’m not sure if the issue still applies for EE2. Ah me.

Yes it does, although the syntax is slightly different:
$this->EE->session->userdata['ip_address']See here for more.

Adam,
I requested that that comment be moved for you. We will let you know when it is taken care of.

Adam,
there was no way to move your comment so we request that you make the comment again in the legacy docs.
We have removed it from the current docs/
