Well, what really happens to me is that there is no way to "disconnect" from a wireless network after the connection is done. 
The only way is to activate the rfkill switch, after which you have other bugs (for example, you have to restart network-manager). Moreover, is quite impossible to _remove_ a SSSID from the list of connection... especially bad if it's a "bad" open connection, it will be chosen again every time.

Title:
  Toggling a network connection to off in gnome shell "panel icon"
  doesn't work

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The version of libnm-glib shipped with Ubuntu is too old, this causes
  the Gnome Shell's network connection manager's on/off toggle to not
  work. Please see the following bug reports for more information:

  http://osdir.com/ml/gnome-shell-list/2011-11/msg00006.html
  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664171
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=739035

  This happens with all connections, not just the "Wired" one like in
  the bug reports.

  I have Ubuntu 11.10 installed (upgraded from 11.04) using the Gnome
  Shell package shipped with Ubuntu, all the laterst updates applied.
