does not help, replace the adapter card.
2950 CLAS0001 MESSAGE 2: MII read error on adapter card.
CAUSE: During a 100VG-AnyLAN link connect attempt, the driver
attempted to request a training interval from the hub, but its read from
an MII hardware register on the adapter card failed to return the
proper acknowledgment bit.
ACTION: The link did not connect. MII reads can be sensitive to software
timing. If you have GLANCE or a similar tool, run it and check the CPU load
on the system. If the load is high, try reducing the CPU load, then retry the
connect. If the problem persists, the adapter card has probably failed; replace
the adapter card.
2980 CLAS0001 MESSAGE 1: Powerfail detected.
CAUSE: During a 100VG-AnyLAN link connect attempt, the driver
attempted to request a training interval from the hub, but detected all
1’s on an MII hardware register read, indicating a powerfail had
already occurred. The driver was trying to read from a PHY status
register to clear it, when the powerfail or error occurred.
ACTION: None.This errorcan usuallybe ignored.Powerfailures canoccur at
any moment. The driver was executing at the moment power failed. Power
then returned, and the driver ran to completion, noticing this error along the
way. Upon exit, the driver was then officially notified of a powerfail by MPE.
The driver then attempted powerfail recovery, and should now be operating
the same as before.
The link did not connect. If you suspect power did not really fail but the
problem persists, the adapter card may be faulty. If retrying the connect
does not help, replace the adapter card.

3010 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Powerfail detected.
CAUSE: During a 100VG-AnyLAN link connect attempt, the driver
detected all 1’s on a hardware register read, and, upon checking further,
saw that its hardware I/O address space was disabled, indicating a
powerfail had already occurred. The driver was reading from adapter
card memory to check a received training frame, when power failed.
