I got rid of the startup error message by blacklisting the mei_me
driver. To do that, you can add the following two lines at the end of
the blacklist.conf file located in /etc/modprobe.d. Here are the steps
just in case:

1. Open terminal
2. Type sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
3. Scroll to the bottom of the file and add the following two lines:
# Intel VPRO remote access technology driver
blacklist mei_me

4. Save the file
5. Restart the computer
--> Now, you should not get the error messages anymore on startup of the computer.

Title:
  mei_me resets spamming dmesg

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  As you can see from the dmesg attached I'm getting the following every 5-10 seconds:
  [11332.456035] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: reset: connect/disconnect timeout.
  [11332.456044] mei_me 0000:00:03.0: unexpected reset: dev_state = RESETTING

  This was happening with raring but I blacklisted the mei module. With
  saucy it seems mei is included directly and is no longer loaded as a
  module.
