How to get Intel® Centrino® Wireless-n 2230 to work on 11.10?

Question

I recently got an Alienware M17x with the default wireless card which is an Intel® Centrino® Wireless-n 2230. I have tried the suggested actions by other earlier card versions with no success. I have Internet with Windows if needed.

Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-cw-3.3-$(uname -r) 

and my problem was solved after reboot. if that would not help please check the below links for reference.
