It doesn't ask if I want to connect to a wifi network, but rather if I want to configure a wifi hotspot.

I have network notification unchecked in the advanced wifi settings so it should not notify me of new wifi hotspots and I have tethering off.

HiThis is not a question but a solution for others with same issue as me.I tried Chakra with livecd and installed to hdd too on my IBM R52 laptop, but the system not recognized my wifi automatically so I could not set my internet connection (however /lib/firmware folder contains ipw2200-bss.fw driver needed my wifi).Fortunately I found solution recognizing wifi on Arch wiki.
