ODDie is basically correct. It turns out to be an error in the linux-input kernel commit for the Bamboo Pen in wacom_wac.c. The pressure is erroneously set to 255 instead of 1023:

static const struct wacom_features wacom_features_0xD4 =
 { "Wacom Bamboo Pen", WACOM_PKGLEN_BBFUN, 14720, 9200, 255, 63, BAMBOO_PT };

A submission correcting the mistake will be made shortly to linux-input.

In the meantime on Natty you could use the wacom.ko from input-wacom. HOW TO compile and install it is described on the Bamboo P&T HOW TO: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1515562 or the Linux Wacom Project mediawiki site.

Or you could use Irie Shinsuke's PPA which uses input-wacom and is linked on the HOW TO.
