The issues page has a report of the same error (as does my i5-6600) and the author says:

>Ok, I'm /inclined/ to believe that this indicates that the system doesn't implement AMT at all, but I'll try to do some more research.

I got this message on a system which has a Core i7-4510 CPU; this is not on the list of systems with "vPro" technology. I've seen referenced as another name for the vulnerable component --- but given the marketing-spawned confusion around Intel CPU nomenclature, I can easily imagine someone (perhaps me!) getting confused on the point.

Search for "vPro" systems here: https://ark.intel.com/Search/FeatureFilter?productType=proce...

This isn't that helpful because you need a vPro-capable CPU and the proper chipset and AMT firmware to be vulnerable.

Maybe the driver isn't loaded?

It is.

Here is an issue for it: https://github.com/mjg59/mei-amt-check/issues/1

Upgrade your kernel, or build the kernel with the AMT module

4.10 is fairly new, and the amt mod is loaded

Cool. thx
