+If you have developed a Nix package for your module, and want to only add the module to your <code>configuration.nix</code> instead of complete rebuilding the system based on your local <code>nixpkgs</code>, you need to update <code>boot.kernelPackages</code> as well, so kernel and modules can match each other:

+    # Allow unfree modules
+    allowUnfree = true;
