The only way to get it is to install the git package from your distro and issue the command git clone \ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-testing.git Be aware that the download is roughly 200 MB. In addition, the above will get you 2.6.28-wl. If you really need -rc8 (which I doubt), then you will need to issue the additional command git checkout v2.6.28-rc8 The -wl part is not needed here.
