I took the shield off, but found no hirose connector. There was small capacitor (I'm not sure if this is capacitor, the square one) instead.
Airlink101 directional antenna has an extra TNC to SMA convertor. I cut the TNC part off and soldered it onto PCB. I originally sordered before capacitor, but while I was playing around with it, the PCB print came off. So I had to solder pigtail after capacitor, and it came off again!! Gosh, I thought that I totally screwed up at that point. I finally soldered at the corner of the chip (where antenna feed goes) and poured super glue then let it dry for an hour. Then I glued pigtail wherever it touched PCB. It is still not that secure, so I would not put much strain on it. Pigtail shield was soldered to ground. I don't know if I had to leave that capacitor. It works somehow.
