The improved lspci command shows all available ethernet controllers and their kernel modules. Previously, the user had to provide the slot name of a specific device.

I am not used to the doc but shouldn't it be <command> instead ?

After a closer look it seems that NixOS docs and descriptions mostly use <literal> for complex shell commands:
nixpkgs=$(nix eval --raw '(builtins.fetchTarball { url = https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz; })')
grep -r '<literal>.*|' $nixpkgs
# vs
grep -r '<command>.*|' $nixpkgs
(The formatting is also nicer in the html output 🐱)
I've reverted the change.

In theory that should be usbhid, however some devices are not compliant to the usb keyboard device class. |

IMHO it's wrong to add a whole bunch of kernel modules to everybody's initrd. Instead nixos-generate-config should emit the required configuration in hardware-configuration.nix.
You may want to add hid_cherry to the initrd of the installation CD, though.
