Ah ha... this is revealing:

It seems you have a config file /cineca/prod/opt/compilers/openmpi/1.3.3/intel--11.1--binary/etc/openmpi-mca-params.conf that is excluding the TCP BTL from being used.
This config file will even prevent the TCP BTL from being shown in ompi_info -- remember that ompi_info shows *current* values of MCA parameters. So you might want to do something like this:
ompi_info --mca btl "" --param btl tcp
That would override the "btl" MCA parameter in your config file, allow the BTL TCP to be loaded by ompi_info, and therefore show you all the BTL TCP params.
Make sense?
