Does your eeepc have one of those processors that should support PAE but doesn't?

No, full pae support. Previously it was running ubuntu 12.04 with the generic-pae kernel. Debian ended up installing the 3.2.0-4-686-pae kernel.

What exact model eeepc is it? Is it mentioned here https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/Models ?

From memory, i.e. I'm not in front of it right now, it's a 701. The installer had no trouble ID-ing hardware and asked me which of the wired or wireless NICs I wanted to use.

And what exact netinst download did you get?

This one:
