Run the diagnostic when you encounter the problem.

With no parameters the diagnostic shows the current state, or as much as
it can without disturbing device operation
  eepro100-diag

To show All of the registers
  eepro100-diag -a
or
  eepro100-diag -aaf

To show the EEPROM configuration
  eepro100-diag -e
or
  eepro100-diag -eee   (to see more detail)

To show the transceiver configuration
  eepro100-diag -m
