Ubuntu – find an updated asus-wmi-dkms package for Asus N56V

12.04asusbacklightdkmskeyboard

I'm trying to use the answer for 166261 question.
The suggested package ( install asus-wmi-dkms_0.2_all.deb.gz package (from http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12057336&postcount=49) ) seems not working for me.
There is any new package / ppa for asus-wmi-dkms ?
