It is my understanding that real-time kernels force processes to work 
simultaneously rather than sequentially, forcing some of them to bypass safety 
features. I checked this on the net and only found references to 2007 and 
earlier, so this may have been resolved. 
In Studio wireless is not automatically enabled (through gnome-network-admin), 
and I thought this was one of the reasons why, because you have to activate 
consciously, and only over a secure network. For instance, you would never let 
your banking information fly over your library or coffee shop wireless.
