Hi. I get this result from intelmetool...

sudo ./intelmetool Bad news, you have a QM77 Express Chipset LPC Controller so you have ME hardware on board and it is very difficult to remove, continuing... RCBA at 0xfed1c000 MEI not hidden on PCI, checking if visible MEI found: 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family MEI Controller #1

ME Status : 0x1e003052 ME Status 2 : 0x1632017a

ME has a broken implementation on your board with this BIOS ME: failed to become ready WRITE [00] : CB: 0x80040007 WRITE [00] : CB: 0x000002ff ME: failed to become ready ME: GET FW VERSION message failed ME: failed to become ready WRITE [00] : CB: 0x80080007 WRITE [00] : CB: 0x00000203 WRITE [00] : CB: 0x00000000 ME: failed to become ready ME: GET FWCAPS message failed exiting

... And it stops. Is intel me disabled or not? Thank you for this tool.

Yes, Ivy Bridge is currently the best intel processor for freedom without being slow as molasses like sandy bridge

:) If I had seen this, I would've told you, yes it is in fact possible to disable intel me in ivy bridge, as I have this already.

Although, a fork might very well be needed, corna seems to be in over his head right now with work...

I wish he would grant someone else permission to make new releases and pulls.

But not me, I have no experience with this stuff, just sayin... ;)
