from what i can determine your current card is a "Realtek  RT5392" 2x2 (dual antenna) Half mini PCIe form factor card

 

HP has used a "whitelist" on many computer models meaning if the card model is not on the pre approved list it will not work

 

keep this in mind when trying a replacement card

 

the link below is a picture of what you current card looks like, note shape/size and the gold pins

and here is a possible replacement/upgrade (keep the whitelist issue in mind) drivers for this can be downloaded from the intel web site
