Perhaps try the Intel 5100 AGN card, very cheap and I believe it fits your requirements. Atheros might have one as well but I am less familiar with their offerings.

Yes, Intel WiFi Link 5100 is a draft-N mini PCI express wireless card with requires only two antennas. But...
Since OP's notebook is HP Pavilion DV5-1112ea which seems to be a non-Intel based notebook (CMIIW), thus Intel WiFi Link 5100 will not work as this has already reported by few NBR forum members. So, another Atheros or Broadcom based wireless card with (draft) N capability should be the one to choose. But there's another problem...
The whitelist thing which HP implements prevents its users to change the wireless card inside their HP notebooks to any card except the approved ones. So, OP will be better off buying this kind of card from HP, unless he/she knows how to find one from other sellers llike the ones on eBay.
what is the best mini wifi ??
