Both line description and icon are missing

Verify the i5/OS side

You must have a line description in the NWSD for a VE port to be installed. Use the instructions found here,Configure virtual Ethernet networks, to create a line description.

Note:

To add a line description, the NWSD needs to be varied off. Once you have created the line description and rebooted the integrated Windows server, the installation VEU automatically creates the VE port under Windows.

When a VE port problem persists after you successfully create a line description and reboot the integrated server, come back to this troubleshooting section and follow the instructions for the newly matched failing case.

Verify the Windows side

When no i5/OS line description is present, a VE port should not be listed under Windows. Install the line description as described in Configure virtual Ethernet networks and restart the integrated server to see if this fixes the problem.
