AMT requires Intel NICs for that reason.

So could you neutralize its communication functions (to a degree) by using a non-Intel NIC? Would a non-chipset Intel NIC accomplish the same thing?

but it still needs and IP address right? Does ME does its own DHCP/BOOTP configuration or does it rely on some other protocol specific to Intel NICs/Intel infrastructure?

The AMT component must be specifically configured with network information. It is usually kept on a different interface from that used by the OS for security reasons.
