So I went into the device manager for my ethernet card, but couldn't see any
option to turn off any system tray icon.

That's not where it is. Right click on that icon you want
to get rid of. Select Status. On the General tab, click
Properties.

There it is - "Show Icon....".

At least that's what happens here.

The problem is that this doesn't work with most ethernet adapters.
There will appear a tray icon (with red cross) when disconnected even
when the "Show Icon..." checkbox has not been ticked. Just try it out...
