Have you defined the NIC that you are using for network access in
/etc/network/interfaces?
If you do and are using Network Manager, the network icon will not
indicate whether you are or are not connected.
You can change the "managed" setting in
/etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf
to use Network Manager and /etc/network/interfaces simultaneously and
this will probably show you a "connected" status when you have network
access.
