Benjamin,
I think we might try to fix that [1] as well when making changes to the
sysfs entries. Currently every tablet connected wirelessly will trigger
creating new sysfs entries:

/sys/class/power_supply/wacom_ac
/sys/class/power_supply/wacom_battery

so sysfs is not happy about attempts to create duplicates. We need to
distinguish between devices using consecutive numbers or something else.
