I have the same problem, only much worse. My network connection is flaky. So the wireless keeps disconnecting intermittently. Whenever this happens, there is a dialog box asking for authentication, when, in fact, the give password is the right one.
I had around 30 dialog boxes open *simultaneously* when I was away from my desktop for a day. I have to manually close each one of them, since they are not grouped and shown.

I did not aks Oneiric to connect to a wireless access point. Lucid was more intelligent and stopped annoying me after a while after I had told it not to connect to this wireless network. I expect that Oneiric GNOME 3 learns at least after the third denied message that I am connected via Ethernet and do not wish a wireless connection.
