content: Some firmware versions can disable that. One of my MB makers took a nice step towards the FUCK YOU INTEL AND YOUR BUGS by having a setting in the UEFI/BIOS which disables the management engine network stack entirely (no more remote network access for it). I found that hilarious and inside windows that is confirmed by a device that never finds a driver and it is unsure of what it even is (basically a basic communications to the OS for the interface that would be there and the OS says: I don't know what you want and I'm not doing anything about it).
