You should be able to get that file directly from the URL you listed.
Click on the version you want (current is 1.13)
to go to
http://www.isi.edu/cgi-bin/nsnam/cvsweb/ns-2/mac/smac.cc?rev=1.13
which is the clean file.

But I don't recommend you pull out specific files like that as s-mac
depends on other files as well (for example, smac.h).
A better choice is to either get a daily snapshot of all of ns,
or to directly access our anonymous CVS repository
Instructions for how to do either are described at
