Bug Description
The kernel on 12.04 doesn't currently support Wacom Intuos5 tablets. Adding the following patches from the mainline kernel would fix that:
- these patches lay the groundwork for Intuos5
from 3.3
8b4a0c1fe3b03c0
31175a8348af76a
from 3.4:
3aac0ef10bf5c76
d3825d51c3eddb8
16bf288c4be67b6
a1d552cc15b0be9
f182394033d6396
- and finally the actual Intuos5 support (from v3.5-rc1)
9fee619505bdb20

I've tested the patches on top of 3.2-25.40 and they work fine, and my Intuos4 continues to work as well. The Intuos5 support patches missed the 3.4 merge window due to a human error, so they're actually a bit older and have seen more testing than the kernel version would suggest (linuxwacom provides a kernel driver "snapshot" for users to install a bit like our dkms packages are).
The quantal kernel is missing support as well, but 3.5-rc1 is already being worked on, so best to just concentrate on precise here.

Marking quantal as 'fix committed' since 3.5-rc1 will hit it soon enough.
