The message about SB Pro v3.2 is intentional and I will not remove it.
There are very few genuine SB Pro cards with version 3.2. However they are
very rare when compared to huge number of clone cards reporting the same
version. Purpose of this message is to notify the clone owners that they
should use other than SB driver (usually MAD16) with their card.

I have modified the message slightly. The modified message will be in next
OSS/Free release (after couple of months).

Best regards,
