OK so now you have:

http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2008-03-25.tar.bz2

You can wget this. The compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 is now just a
symlink to the latest tarball. When untar'd you'll get a dated
directory.

I'm still working on a place to put the archive.
