The string "graph" does not occur in the text of chapter 5.
What the heading says is

    "5.2. The modern network configuration for desktop"

There is a link to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface
in the HTML version, but the authors failed to provide a link to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text-based_user_interface
which is sufficient for running wicd. (I can't speak for
network-manager, never having installed it.)

Cheers,
David.
