Well, a statically configured network interface might be expected to just work.
With dynamic configuration, there must be successful contact with a DHCP server, and the server must be willing to assign an IP address and possibly provide other information (gateway, nameserver, host name) to the client host. In this case, a visible indicator of successful network configuration might be useful.
You should get an icon indicating failure just no success one. Which is even very unixy ;)
