probably by adding service file to bootup, like:

systemd.service.myUsbService = 
  let startupScript = ''
    #!${pkgs.bash}
    echo "0b05 17e8" | tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2800usb/new_id
  '';
  in { 
    description = "get my US WiFi to work";
    wantedBy = [ "default.target" ];
    serviceConfig = {
      ExecStart = startupScript;
    };
  };

Maybe you’ll have to play with the units it needs to run before.
I point you to `man configuration.nix` and `man systemd.unit`.
