This is the one for BookwormPup64 10.0.7, but it is the same kernel 6.1.94
It may have in it what you want.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.

If you are using Vanilladpup 10.0.60

You need the kernel sources file from here:
https://github.com/vanilla-dpup/release ... 86_64-10.0

It seems to be using a different kernel than kernel 6.1.94

If you're trying to install drivers in Vanilla Dpup, you don't need the kernel sources SFS. The required subset is in the kbuild SFS included in the ISO.
