Why not distribute the required skills over several characters, like the 
two guys in Burning Chrome? Depending on the mechanics, some skills must 
be possessed by the hacker himself, possibly including programming, but 
hardware engineering skills could be covered by another PC, so that the 
hacker has more skill points to raise non-cyberspace-relevant skills.
