So I went to 
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-dev.git;a=
summary
and found a list of revisions of mac80211 by Zhu Yi.

I snagged what appears to be the latest snapshot 
which has the name 
wireless-dev.git-73382ce0b09c9a33c647d12ddc62c68c664d9e2b.tar.gz
.

tar -xvvzf *.gz
produces this error message.
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format

Someone please explain where this reasoning goes 
astray and which file I should have retrieved.

Thanks,         Peter E.
