Ours is a binary only proprietary driver. I have since corrected the MODULE_LICENSE label to "LSI Proprietary" and updated the OEM versions. If this is not reflected in their respective web-sites already, it should soon be. You must have an old version of this driver. We have changed the name from "megaswr" to "megasr".
