All the access points I've used needed an IP address for configuration (to tell them which SSID to use, and so on). This can be set manually on most models, and therefore not requested using DHCP via the Ethernet port (which would be connected to the Cable Modem), but this is not usually default behaviour - and is quite fiddly sometimes.
