The patch prevent it.
If you download the patch file from the 3.15 firmware and unzip it, look in the included patch file libnickel.so.1.0.0.patch for this lines, change no to yes.
<Patch>
patch_name = `Block WiFi firmware upgrade`
patch_enable = `yes`
# Multi-version patch: 3.3.0 - 3.16.0+
Etc. etc..
Read the warning, but after that you can sync, it will not update (also handy for the future) it can be undone by changing it again to no and rerun the patch and apply it, or by manually upgrade it with a new unpatched file if there is enough space on the device.
I do find a choice in the software that enables you to choose if you want to upgrade yes or no,a very important option, now you have no choice.
Patch file for 3.15 can be found here:
