Yeah, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

What's the problem you're having with the 3.2 headers? I just compiled
input-wacom with my I5 backports and your upstream wireless patches
(tweaked as necessary) and don't seem to be running into any trouble
with the resulting driver working with the Arch Linux 3.2.11-1 kernel.

I've recently been looking at how the versions are diverging, and
there's a couple things that need to be addressed. Some are trivial,
while others may need testing. Most of the differences though looks to
be pretty easy to merge back to 2.6.30, or possibly even 2.6.16 (I'm
not familiar enough with the legacy linuxwacom code to be sure of that
statement...). The hard part will be testing to ensure everything
works properly.

If I can get some time, I'd like to work out what needs to be done to
get everything in sync again. Backporting I5 took longer than expected
because of all the small bumps in the merge process....
