nevermind...I just discovered this thread

open gconf-editor
system > networking > wireless > networks

unset the keys for the networks you don't want to connect to.

Besides that,  what if I want to be able to connect to 2 different

automatically connects to the other.  Is there a way to change the 
preferred order?
