Default connection icon

I have the following system and everything actually works.

PC connected with wifi [Sitecom ADSL2+ Modem/Router 54G Turbo WL-174] by USB
cable.
I have internet acces and also WPA-secure wifi access with my own network.

My question is, that I don't have any shortcut icon for the adsl connection.
On the taskbar I have an icon which says "LAN-connection", but nothing about
adsl.

When I look in network connections window I have

-----------------
under dialup modem connection
- one (emergency) connection

under LAN of fast internet connection
- LAN-connection
- 1394 connection (firewire)

under PAN personal area network
- one bluetooth connection
-----------------


Isn't there supposed to be a connection icon for the adsl modem?
I want to be able to control the adsl connection (manual disconnect when
needed) too, like I can with the dialup modem.

I do have to mention that I have not installed the CD that came with the
Sitecom modem/router, because everything already seems to work and I thought
installing the CD would only take up space needlessly.
Is it wise to install the Sitecom CD or not?


Who can shed a light on this situation?
