Yeah, I saw the same thing too except my desktop seems to be working
fine (so far so go and I've pulled email from pop and imap and can
browse the web.  Also NFS works).

I've had a look through dmesg but can't see anything specific about this
udev failure in there (it happens really early (before the umount
of /proc and /sys(???))).

I've been seeing these "Failed to mmap ...." errors installing with yum
for a while now, but they don't seem to be affecting anything.  Yeah, I
know I should have reported them earlier, but I figured they were so
obvious that the should have been noticed.  Next time I see them I'll
file a bug report unless someone mentions something to indicate that
it's a known issue.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm not sure that these issues
are related to your network problems as it works for me.
