My next question is (and it's probably mentioned further in the thread or manual somewhere): how does the ME chipset route traffic to the Internet in the first place? Piggyback off the OS? Does this mean it's directly coupled with the networking devices on the system somehow? Presumably it will work with any OS....
- yuhong 10y agoAMT requires Intel NICs for that reason.
- djsumdog 10y agobut it still needs and IP address right? Does ME does its own DHCP/BOOTP configuration or does it rely on some other protocol specific to Intel NICs/Intel infrastructure?
- jcrawfordor 10y agoThe AMT component must be specifically configured with network information. It is usually kept on a different interface from that used by the OS for security reasons.
- DashRattlesnake 10y agoSo could you neutralize its communication functions (to a degree) by using a non-Intel NIC? Would a non-chipset Intel NIC accomplish the same thing?
