There is no separate option for enabling/disabling network connection icons in the login dialog and/or on the locked screen. With Show taskbar in login screen and Show taskbar in screenlock enabled, the icons appear automatically if Enable tray icon is activated under:

  • Network > LAN Interfaces > Interface 1 / Interface 2 / Wireless

  • Network > Mobile Broadband

  • Network > VPN

The network connection icons in the login dialog and on the locked screen serve for information purposes only and thus are inactive on clicking, except for the Wi-Fi icon.

The Wi-Fi icon invokes a dialog for turning Wi-Fi on/off, or the Wireless Manager in case it is activated under Network > LAN Interfaces > Wireless. For more information, see (12.3.2-en) Switching the Wi-Fi Connection Off or On and (12.3.2-en) Wireless Manager.
