name of the controller in OS should be p2p1. As it seems this controller 
is in slot 2 and port 2.

Bug description:
  In Quantal kernel biosdevname feature is not working as it suppose to
  be. On hardware we are seeing an issue where few of the network
  interface names are named as rename7 etc.. while biosdevname -d
  utility provides the correct biosname while kernel name have been
  messed up. There are total 16 network interfaces on the server which
  are ALOMs for Emulex card connected to system.

  It seems this issue is a race condition and will get fixed in Fedora
  18. But having fix in Quantal will help also.
