You could delete the connection, in which case NM will no longer attempt
to connect to it.  When "Save" is disabled, that is usually one of two
things...  the configuration is invalid (which could be due to a missing
password, missing SSID, etc) or you don't have permissions to delete it.
What version of NM?
