And the ME also had (has?) its own MAC address: "The ME has its own MAC and IP address for the out-of-band interface, with direct access to the Ethernet controller; one portion of the Ethernet traffic is diverted to the ME even before reaching the host's operating system, [...]." According to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Management_Engine#Hardware ... which in turn references: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/i210-ethernet-controller-datasheet.pdf That's from 2012, but still updated this year. > AMT is the name of the networking software that runs on the ME btw. > Many ME firmware packages don't have AMT at all.

Well, devices without AMT firmware couldn't do the advertised out-of-band management etc. which is implemented by AMT, but these devices may still have network-capable ME firmware, maybe for AntiTheft technology (apparently discontinued in 2015) or whatever...
