No special code is required -- just a minimal addition to the
ptal-init-script where 'moreWildcards' is defined. I didn't get a
concrete patch out of him and lack the hardware to test this myself

If you use the FreeBSD port, it should take of finding libusb etc, so
the above should be the only change required.
