You probably chose that AP from the menu at least once before...

0.6.x: look for it in GConf under /system/networking/wireless/networks
and use

gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /system/networking/wireless/networks/<essid> 

to kill it.

0.7.x: look for it in GConf
under /system/networking/connections/<connection id>/connection/ and do
the same sort of thing with gconftool-2.  0.7.x will soon have a
connection editor which will allow you to do this graphically and
easily.  Just not enough time quite yet to clean up what's there.
