Thanks for looking at this. Actually, the previous code was correct, because I 
add the VLAN_TAG_PRESENT if the packet comes from vlan in function
rndis_filter_receive_data():
        if (vlan) {
                pkt->vlan_tci = VLAN_TAG_PRESENT | vlan->vlanid |
                        (vlan->pri << VLAN_PRIO_SHIFT);
        } else {
                pkt->vlan_tci = 0;
        }

But, the new code should be updated below, so the VLAN_TAG_PRESENT won't be set
when it's not from a vlan:
If (VLAN_TAG_PRESENT & packet->vlan_tci)
	__vlan_hwaccel_put_tag(skb, htons(ETH_P_8021Q), packet- vlan_tci);

I will submit a patch soon.

Thanks,
