Yeah, that report was widely cited as saying that Wi-Fi and avionics systems were connected, but as far as I can tell, it says nothing of the sort. The only point at which it mentions Boeing or Airbus at all is in the context of the FAA issuing "Special Conditions" requiring them to restrict network connectivity, and it doesn't make any reference whatsoever to Wi-Fi.
It looks to me like Wired literally made the whole thing up and a bunch of other sites took it as gospel.
