I am not from Intel, but the article at
http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/ISN/Community/en-us/blogs/manageability_software_development/archive/2007/01/24/30229661.aspx

says

"Please note that currently the HECI driver is available for windows OS
and it will be made available on Linux OS in a future release."

Nice that it will be made available on Linux in the future, but I
feel somewhat let down here, Intel. Your support for your wireless
and graphics chips on Linux is what has made you a top contender for
my hardware purchases.
