Title: New Build - Cannot Find EC Device
Post by: spetrillo on June 20, 2023, 06:27:15 PM

I am in the midst of a new build for a client and right before I started network port assignments I noticed that I was getting a few WMI messages I dont believe I ever saw before:

acpi_wmi0: cannot find EC device
acpi_wmi0: Embedded MOF found

I am also seeing this. Can it be ignored, or do I have a configuration issue?

What kind of hardware is this? Following the documentation it is unlikely that OPNsense is actively using anything this driver provides:

I am using a Lenovo M720Q Tiny PC but in the past I have used Dell or HP and never saw this.
