Assuming I have one of the affected boards (from the link below) and a vPro processor, does AMT still function if I disable onboard networking and add an Intel NIC card?

Would it make any difference if the card was PCI or PCIe? I wouldn't think so.
I believe AMT does not function through a Realtek NIC card. Please correct this assumption if I am in error.
And in case it's not obvious, I don't use AMT so disabling it would not present a problem.
