This is way too simple. It has nothing to do with any of the adaptors or routers. It has everything to do with the querky interface with the tray. try this: when u see that u have the tray icon that shows the x (network cable unplugged) just open the network connection's property box and click or unclick the "show icon in notification area (tray) when connected" check box once you have done this, just re-check it. I have seen the exact bahavior on multiple types of net connections and i can always fix it by just checking and unchecking the box or vs. versa.
