So far, you seem to be the only person reporting this. Merging the udev branch should not affect a built in-nic because it is not hotplugged, and udev does not allocate a device node for it. If it isn't a kernel problem as shown by dmesg, my guess is that something is wrong in your bootscripts or /etc/sysconfig - I think there has been some change there over the past months.
