Acer Aspire 5755-6699, Wired, but no Wireless

I managed to install the wired drivers for my new laptop, but I'm unable to find any working wireless drivers. I'm not sure what the actual wireless card is, but here's my lspci if it'll help:

Code:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 0116 (rev 09)
00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation Cougar Point HECI Controller #1 (rev 04)

I'm on ubuntu 10.04.

Edit:

I was able to fix it by doing this:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:glasen/intel-driver
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-backport-natty linux-headers-generic-lts-backport-natty
