Wacom Bamboo CTH-300 not recognized Ubuntu 14.04

I recently got the Wacom Bamboo tablet (CTH-300) and, obviously, I wanted to try it out!

So, I plugged it in...and nothing happened. I tried changing USB ports - nothing.

I checked out the Wacom tablet settings and the Bluetooth settings - they both show nothing:

Wacom:

Bluetooth:

So, I figured it's a drivers issue, and came across this bug report.

It mentions adding the line sbhid.quirks=0x056a:0x0319:0x40000000 to /etc/default/grub and the line MatchIsTablet "on" to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-wacom.conf.

However, doing this didn't help - and I don't believe that solution works for the Wacom CTH-300 either.

Here's the output of dmesg | grep [Ww]acom:
[ 262.474974] usbcore: registered new interface driver wacom

And the output of lsmod | grep [Ww]acom1:
wacom 62856 0. Note, I had to modprobe wacom because when I first boot it comes back with nothing.

lsusb | grep [Ww]acom comes back with nothing.

I also tested this on my Ubuntu 14.10 x86 laptop - nothing.

EDIT: Found this blog post - not exactly something I want to attempt, but just figured I'd post it.
