I have seen this mentioned, and attributed to a kernel bug, but it has been annoying me so I fixed it. On one of my test machines (just one) using the 3.11-6 kernel spammed my console with
Code: Select all
[65.456035] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: reset: connect/disconnect timeout.
about once a second. Downgrading the kernel fixed it, but it can also be fixed more simply by blacklisting the mei_me module.
Either do this for an immediate fix:
or create a file in /etc/modeprobe.d called mei.conf (or <whateveryoulike>.conf) like this:
Code: Select all
echo blacklist mei_me | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/mei.conf
and reboot. No more spam.
This is what the mei_me module is supposed to do:
