Yes, you are right. udev doesn't control the IP address but it simply creates interfaces for devices. But given the errors you posted, udev is clearly changing the interfaces name and this causes the problem you have. Take a look at /usr/share/doc/packages/sysconfig/README.Persistent_Interface_Names.
