Personally, I never really saw much of a problem related to the Wireless Bonus setup, with the possible exceptions of Wireless Concealed Holsters (better get the Wrapper program, or ask for help from someone who does have it). The basic presumption that I ran with was that the threat of someone hacking your stuff was rare to non-existant (from the end-user-on-the-street perspective), and everyone felt safe because every OS would automatically send error messages to the closest G-Men and they could always go Wireless Off easily until the threat had passed.
Yes, this was a way get the hackers on-site and doing risky stuff with the rest of the group instead of just safely fiddling with the place ahead of time, and a way to let hackers do stuff while everyone else was doing stuff, which seems intended to make deckers and TMs more enticing to play as, rather than just taking one as a contact and hand-waving everything. (Probably stating the obvious here)
So, I'm still cautiously optimistic about how this is going to go. Maybe there'll be a mention that the general populace is less paranoid or hyper-vigilant than your characters will be?
