You could do something like this

Get-VM -PipelineVariable vm |

ForEach-Object -Process {

Get-NetworkAdapter -VM $vm |

Select @{N='VM';E={$vm.Name}},

@{N='PowerState';E={$vm.PowerState}},

@{N='NIC';E={$_.Name}},ConnectionState

} | where{$_.PowerState -ne 'PoweredOn' -or $_.ConnectionState -ne 'Connected'}

You seem to be adding additional requirements to your original request.
Sorry, I stopped answering those.
