I don't quite follow you here. What do you mean by "doubling"?

By "level", do you mean the level of signal strength, as measured by 
the Wi-Fi software/driver for the card?

Okay, so basically I just need to make sure that the center wire of my 
antenna cable touches whatever conductor is inside the hole of that 
little round connector on the card, and also make sure that the 
shielding of the antenna wire is attached to ground (the outer metal 
base of the connector)?

Thanks again,

Trevor
