What is this?
This is a reboot/restart of NixWRT: a Nix-based collection of software tailored for domestic wifi router or IoT device devices, of the kind that OpenWrt or DD-WRT or Gargoyle or Tomato run on.
This is not NixOS-on-your-router: it's aimed at devices that are underpowered for the full NixOS experience.
