Blu Ray question

Need a little help picking out a Blu Ray player for my pops.  My question is:

Besides the PS3, is there a Blu Ray player that connects to the internet wirelessly.  I know most have an ethernet port for firmware upgrades and for BD live (bonus features, etc), but has anyone come across one where no cable is needed?

My pops has a wireless modum on the top floor, but the Blu Ray player is going in the basement.  I'd like to avoid drilling holes in the floor and dropping a CAT-5 down is possible.

I'm sure the BD live isnt a major deal, but firmware updates are often and I've noticed from the PS3 that the Blu Ray playback suffers when the system isnt running on the latest firmware.  Some disks won't play at all without the latest firmware.

Thanks for any help you guys can give me

Excellent, thanks Lipps

I wasn't sure that I could update the firmware by saving it to a flash drive.

I really appreciate the response and the time you took to look it up. 

As far as the bonus content many Blu Ray discs need to reference the internet......

...Do you think getting a bridge would work?  Are there any you would recommend??

Thanks again

Very much appreciated
