That is the kernel from the wireless-testing git tree. 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.
