My point was, if your system is completely isolated from the outside world, no physical paths, it doesn't matter who made the chips, they can't create a link where none exists.
If only that were true!
Sadly PC's and laptops tend to have USB ports or Bluetooth and this makes a net connection easy to sort, or of course to import viruses or remove data.
I am typing this on a tablet that has no Internet connection wired to it, but it does have Bluetooth, just as my phone does, and my phone is providing the Internet hotspot.
