I've tried everything you mention here with no success: The BIOS is pretty basic, just allows to select boot order, set the date, and not much more than that. No sysctls also. I guess that my only option to check if the hardware has the feature will be to get windows on it and see what happens. If it works, then I will keep investigating further, if not, then maybe it is impossible to stop it (without using brute force, of course :-) ) Thanks for your help!
