Hello guys.

I was trying to configure my modem for network but it didn't worked. After reading I've found information that this is due to a bug in kernel (9.10 wubi release).

So I wanted to update my kernel. I've downloaded this package:

linux-image-2.6.31-16-generic_2.6.31-16.50lp446146apw5_i386.deb

But it doesn't want to install. I am getting this error:

Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'

Linux kernel image for version 2.6.31 on x86/x86_64
This package contains the Linux kernel image for version 2.6.31 on x86/x86_64.
Also includes the corresponding System.map file, the modules built by the packager, and scripts that try to ensure that the system is not left in an unbootable state after an update.
Supports Generic processors.
Geared toward desktop systems.
You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install the linux-generic meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work correctly, and that supporting packages are also installed.

I don't understand this. My processor is Intel Core Duo 2 and I am working on Dell laptop. But this laptop comes with Vista, I've installed Ubuntu yesterday and it is my first contact with this system.

Oryginally I made a post on networking forum but after discovery that the bug in kernel may cause this I tought that this will be more suitable place for asking.
