If you are referring to the wicd client you have to start the dameon first.
/etc/init.d/wicd start
then launch the gui thingy from the internet menu.
Connecting Wirelessly
Is there no simple way to connect backtrack 4 to my wireless wpa 2 router? I try and access the Network manager in Konquerer and it litterally does nothing, i click and click and nothing happens. Is it just a pain in the ass to get a wireless connection working in backtrack?

Impossible is impossible
How does one type that command while the system is booting? Shouldn't he wait until the system gives him a prompt that he can type at?

A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
proable the same way other things get loaded at bootHow does one type that command while the system is booting? Shouldn't he wait until the system gives him a prompt that he can type at?
Probably not. At the OP, don't forget to set up your wpa-supplicant files.
