The -wl part comes from the presence of a file named
"localversion-wireless" in the wireless-testing directory. This file
has one line with the contents of that line being "-wl" (without the
quotation marks, or course).

If you are compiling this particular kernel to get some wireless
driver, then 2.6.28-wl is likely to be better than 2.6.28-rc8-wl.
Please elaborate your reason for being told to get the -rc8 variant.
