Yeah I'm getting the impression that something is going wrong on my system. AFAIU, itmt is supposed to be auto-detected and doesn't require additional config?

I have the intel ME disabled on my CPU (it came like that from the OEM), I don't know if that can have an effect?

Let me know if there's any additional info that I can provide.
