Thanks guys! Your answers were really helpful! Using uname -a /-v showed me that the actual kernel is 3.16.7-ckt9-2 (2015-04-13) Thomas, You found 3.16.7-ckt9-3 snapshot which is very close. But more importantly you showed me how to look into snapshots. Thanks for showing me where inside the snapshot I should look for the deb files - would have never found it myself with all of these paths there 😊 Looking in the snapshots I found linux-headers-3.16.0-4-all-amd64_3.16.7-ckt9-2_amd64.deb in - http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20150413T093346Z/pool/main/l/linux/ Added the snapshot to my sources.list and was able to install the linux-headers-3.16.0-4-amd64 package. With is was able to compile my driver and load it. Thanks a lot! Arthur
