I used it to install a IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad R52 with Intel Wireless card and
anything went right. I'll open an bug report with the installation report

I think it should be better: "This disc includes non-free firmware to 
make installation easier on systems requiring proprietary but 
redistributable firmware. See http://wiki.debian.org/Firmware for more
 details."              

Sorry for the delay of my reply.
