No, it's probably not a (trivial) configuration problem. As far as I know these
extra keys are implemented via a separate USB interface/endpoint (which should
show up as an additional uhid device).

I suppose one needs an additional USB driver (or an extension to ukbd) to make
these keys available to wscons. Perhaps a userland solution is possible using
usbhidaction(1)?
