This is wrong.  Your shell has interpreted variables in the URL, and you
ended up downloading the wrong URL, which caused HTML and other things
to appear in the file.  Is this your first time using UNIX?  This is a
little surprising.

You need to do (note the apostrophes, DO NOT use double-quotes):

$ wget -O if_msk.c 'http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/msk/if_msk.c?rev=1.34;content-type=text%2Fplain'

And be sure to do the same for the include file (change the -O argument,
obviously).
