YES & in 7 should be there. by default, on the Taskbar by the Speaker & Action Centre icons. However, if you Rt Click on the Taskbar & > Properties & @ the Taskbar tab in the centre is Notification area, hit Customize button; there is a list of various (available) Icons & their selectable Behaviors, including for Network connectivity indicators, wired & or wireless.

I managed to display the Wireless connection, but the Wired connection is not available when you try to edit your notification icons.
