I'm pretty sure that slink will not support these two. Actually, I
don't thing Debian will ever support SB Live right out of the box due
to the licencing of the SB Live drivers. You'll have to roll your
own, which I think has been fairly successful. (People are free to
Correct me if I'm wrong.)
As for Ultra-66, I'm not sure if that made it into frozen. I thought
that Ultra-66 is only in the 2.3+ kernels...But I don't have one, so I
can't say from experience.
