Debian have, perhaps unhelpfully, stopped shipping a lot of firmware.
Installing Lenny onto a system with a Broadcom NetXtremeII NIC will result
in a system with no network drivers unless you have the firmware available
on a USB stick or similar when you install.

On the one hand you have Debian's purity; on the other, pragmatism. Debian
is going to be a harder sell as a result of this decision.
