During the last weekend (July 22nd), Nicola Corna (the developer of me_cleaner) added proper skylake support to me_cleaner, but he still needs to test and fix potential issues. I’ve tested his changes, and while it removes a lot more modules than before (bringing it to par with pre-skylake support), it unfortunately did not fix the wifi issues we’ve been having. I’ve managed however to debug the problem and fix it, but it has other side effects now.
So right now here are the options possible :
- The ME is left as is
- The ME is neutralized and the Wifi module is inaccessible (but you could use a USB eth/wifi adapter for example)
- The ME is neutralized, the Wifi module remains accessible but you can’t poweroff the machine (after you power it off from linux, it remains ‘frozen’ at the end but doesn’t actually shut itself off automatically, so you need to press and hold the power button to force it to shut down)
I’m still working on this and hopefully we can get a better solution for it all soon.
