Unfortunately, you are at the top of the mark with that card since your notebook only comes with one antenna wire and any other dual band card would require two antenna wires.

 

In order to install the missing second antenna wire, you would have to order the dual antenna kit listed in chapter 3, page 23 of the service manual, and disassemble pretty much the entire notebook including the display panel bezel to install the second antenna wire.
