I'm not sure where Hurd is at with wireless drivers, but there is some
GPLed WiFi firmware out there:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/carl9170.fw
http://github.com/qca/open-ath9k-htc-firmware
In addition, firmware-linux-free contains some freely licensed
firmware, including some for Ethernet cards.
I believe the freely licensed nouveau drivers for nVidia GPU cards
have the ability to generate the needed GPU microcode.
So, someday the Hurd will need support for microcode upload.
