IntelBAG (8086,1502): Removed, unused

---

So this module is unneeded? Will there be problems with the Intel Smart Connection Technology settings in BIOS and in the OS because of its removal?

---

About Smart Connect: This does interest me.
Today I modded the bios of my Asrock Z68Extr3Gen3 and removed module 8086,1502 (board has only Realtek NIC).

So I just activated smart connect in bios. A new device showed up in Hardware Manager (ACPI\INT33A0).
Installed latest Smart Connect software (v4.x) and configured 15 minutes schedule.
First error message I got was: 2000 Error communicating with WLAN device (I have no WLAN device, so ....)

Edit: According to product brief this requires Intel wireless adapter and internet connectivity.

So, no harm done by removing 1502 -> Bye, bye 1502 ;-)

I see... And how can I get rid of these unneeded modules, which I saw, when I was updating Intel IME. There was that wireless module and some other stuff, which wasn't on my MB so iwould like to know how to remove all of that? What are they used for anyway?

My thoughts are that those modules are serving to highest bidder or someone who is interested in spying http://news.softpedia.com/news/Secret-3G...288381481237582
