What is making you think that the problem with your Ethernet device is tied to MAKEDEV?  It would be much more likely to be initscripts and/or iputils.  No files are created/used in /dev for Ethernet devices (only tun devices and the like have a device node).  For reference, here's my levels of these packages (I don't even have MAKEDEV installed any longer since only raidutils needed on my system so I pulled it as well as raidutils):

iputils-20020927-16
initscripts-7.73-1
kernel-2.6.8-1.526
kernel-2.6.8-1.532
