The Kobo Start Menu does not (yet?) establish a wifi connection. That means you have to connect to the internet with the help of nickel (the original Kobo user interface) and then launch koreader via fmon. Therefore, the start menu is not really helpful in this case.
If you want to install the start menu nonetheless, it needs a (small) additional effort to enable launching Koreader via nickel. There are no detailed instructions yet posted on how to do this. See
this post for a short hint. The easiest way to test it with the start menu would be to overwrite the content of .kobo/kbmenu/fmonsh/run_test_script.sh with the content of .kobo/kbmenu/onstrart/koreader_kobo.sh, for instance by copy and rename. You can then start the koreader from nickel by opening run_test_script.sh.
Independent on how you launch the koreader, you might also want to consult the developers' corner on how to keep the wifi connection alive, see esp. the patching threads.
Edit: If I remember correctly, the wifi connection stays alive, if you kill nickel completely (rather then stop it). Right now, I cannot test it myself.
Edit 2: Maybe
soulpixel could tell how he is doing it, cf.
this post.
