Clever, they insert an additional chip between the cpu and wifi whose sole purpose is to load wifi firmware, and thus make it non-update-able "efectively circuitry" to bypass the silly FSF rules. Using the same logic, what if someone ran netflix's proprietary DRM decryption-specific code in a seperate co-processor that interfaced with the main CPU only via the w3c's Encrypted Media Extensions? Assuming this code is never updated and runs isolated from the CPU, according to the FSF silly rules about updatability, they would be OK with this "effective circuitry" (of course ignoring their concerns about DRM itself). But if that same code would be run inside firefox's sandbox for EME plugin's, it would be considered dangerous non-free software.
