Because the intel me 'is' a standalone system. So it can do anything on its own. Of course it won't connect to your WiFi because it didn't know the password. But lan connections don't need password so it can connect and listen to it in that case.
- erik_seaberg 4y agoThere is a standard for LAN authentication, though I think only high-end network hardware enforces it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.1X https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.1X

- wmf 4y agoWPA Enterprise is basically 802.1x over Wi-Fi and yes, the ME has drivers for Intel Wi-Fi cards.
- snuxoll 4y agoDepends on your definition of "high-end", while I personally stick with Mikrotik and Juniper gear a TP-Link TL-SG2008 is only $70 and gives you 8x1GbE ports and support for 802.1x just fine. For wireless you'd use WPA-Enterprise, which is pretty common on most consumer grade routers (for some reason), readily accessible on anything you can install OpenWRT on, and then on prosumer stuff like Ubiquiti AP's.
