I.e., you have some form of VLAN other than an IEEE VLAN?

*IEEE* VLANs do not have two full Ethernet headers; they have a regular Ethernet header, with a destination address, a source address, and a type/length field, with the type/length field having a type value such as 0x8100 or 0x9100.  That's followed by a VLAN header with a priority code point, drop eligible indicator, VLAN ID, and type field.

What sort of VLAN is this?  Can Wireshark dissect it?
