Correct.

If you want stable pccard support, oldcard provides that, but not cardbus.
Under the latest newcard, cardbus appears to be working great.
Under the latest newcard, pccard support is very experimental, but should
mostly work with the pccbb bridge.
With newcard, cardbus and pccard can be used together.  You can load the
cardbus module for cardbus support, pccard for pccard support, or both if
so desired.  The pccbb bridge will do the right thing depending on what
card you inserted.
