I’m looking for a linux kernel for Debian that is 6.4.2 or above (need it to support the AX101 WiFi module).

The Debian package linked below is “linux-image-6.4.0-2-amd64 (6.4.4-3)”

Does that mean the kernel version is 6.4.0 or 6.4.4?

https://packages.debian.org/unstable/kernel/linux-image-6.4.0-2-amd64

It means 6.4.4.

The 0 can be ignored, so you can think of this as “linux-image-6.4” then if you want the actual revision you look after the arch and see “6.4.4”.

This is explained in the Debian kernel handbook:

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-kernel-handbook/ch-versions.html

For compatibility, the official kernel packages currently add ‘.0’ to the upstream version.
