First G netbook distro questions


I've been in a love hate relationship with windows and linux for the past 12 years. Sad to say I still have two boxes that boot to sin xp and vista. The rest are all Linux. Yesterday I downloaded the 'Ultimate Edition, Ubuntu'. So far it has run great on my ASUS EeePC 701 and my HP G60, however for my little Sylvania G netbook (not the meso)it and many others don't find or don't manage to hookup to my Netgear router. I can get on the net with a wired connection but the wireless is a bust right now.
Is there anyone out there that can name a Linux distro that will run that little G netbook? I've searched for sylvania g netbook but I haven't gotten any returns yet.

Sorry for the long post here. I'll try to be a little more restrained in later posts.
