I would keep with what it autodetected (p8p1) and fix anything that
might be messed up in your /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
file.  Easy way to regenerate is to delete any lines and restart to let
it autopopulate again.

Once you've gotten the device straightened out you can use something
like ethtool or mii-tool to check for link, etc..
