You need to have dhcpcd
running. The most straightforward way to do this is to enable the runit service:
# ln -s /etc/sv/dhcpcd /var/service
This should be sufficient for ethernet. For Wi-Fi, there's eiwd
(which can do its own DHCP) and wpa_supplicant
(which dhcpcd
has a hook for) in extra
. eiwd
has some basic usage documentation that can be read with kiss h eiwd
. The help page for wpa_supplicant
is more lacking, but its usage is no different than with any other distro.

Well isn't that nice, completely undocumented, but nice.
(Come to think of it, a few other services in there also look useful - acpid, crond, ntpd, syslogd. Maybe mdev as well. Why is this nowhere in the guide??)
Is there a way to get the runit service to start without having to reboot? (I assume runit is the "busybox init" that the website refers to?)
Found the wiki page: https://kisslinux.org/wiki/service-management
I guess I should really just read the entire wiki.
And yeah, I'm familiar with iwd, I always use it on Arch and Alpine. After ethernet, I'll likely go with regular iwd (not eiwd) since I'm going to be installing dbus for pulseaudio and notifications anyway (and I want iwctl for initial setup) :)
Thank you, that worked :)
(ifup
still complains but apparently dhcpcd
knows how to bring up eth0
all on its own)
How am I supposed to set up the network when BusyBox ifupdown is refusing to work for absolutely no reason?
The KISS documentation has nothing, not even a footnote, for network setup. I don't know what I'm supposed to use.
Even the most basic of configuration files won't work, because of this stupid error. Even more annoyingly, this error happens when someone misspells
address
, so of course that's all of the results when searching Google.Considering Busybox is completely useless and doesn't implement literally anything, there must be some other solution people on KISS are using. What is that? I have zero idea how to proceed.
I have an eth0 interface as shown by
ifconfig -a
but I have no way to enable it.ifconfig eth0 up
kinda works but I don't get any DHCP or anything, even withdhcpcd
installed. (Come to think of it, wtf does "installed" mean? KISS barely has any init at all. This isn't documented either!!)
