The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility.

do you want me to send you the read me's so you can help me apply the drier?
re: readme
Does it say that it'll work for linux xp whatever kernel version? Does your xp install have the kernel sources either installed or available?
It doesn't say Redhat 7.3 only?
Did you try to see if skge was available on your xp install?

Well, it appears that your card might be supported by the skge module. Only thing is, I'm not sure linux xp includes it and if it doesnt, I'm not sure (I don't recall) if they included the kernel source or made it available. Perhaps you could install a new kernel if needed. But linux xp is highly proprietary and lots of stuff isn't the same as in your more traditional linux distros. It's really only good as an introduction.
But try to:
modprobe skgeand if you see no errors, look in
cat /proc/pcior
dmesgand see if you see any evidence that it was recognized.
If so, how do you get connected? dhcp? you could
which dhcpcdto see if it's included or
which dhclientand if you find one of those, run it.
Report back after this and we'll see if there's much else we can do. Unfortunately, you picked an OS as well as a lan card that are both closed sourced and proprietary.
