Sorry if this sounded a little confusing

That icon is the driver for the wireless card in your Thinkpad. It's not specifically related to AC, and it's options and functions will vary based on which wireless card is inside your thinkpad (IBM only offers a limited choice of wireless cards). The most common control is for a power mode, for example when you're operating on battery and want to maximixe battery life, you set the appropriate power mode. Mine has 'enable automatic radio control': This allows IBM AC, or XP SP2, to turn off the wifi card when an ethernet connection is detected, for example.
I don't think you want to delete or disable the icon.
