You don't mean PL-2501 do you?  The Prolific website doesn't
talk about a new PL-2502 chip.

Of course it doesn't include any specs for the PL-2501 either,
which makes it hard to answer questions like yours.

The rndis_host driver isn't expected to work with all RNDIS
devices, that's why it's still "EXPERIMENTAL".  You could find
out what's wrong and fix it.  :)

However, we've become increasingly aware that Microsoft's
specs for RNDIS are deeply deficient.  The mere fact that
you get that error, for example, means that the documented
requrements for devices are not what their drivers actually
expect ... which isn't really news, given the other strange
behaviors (and bugs) in the Windows RNDIS driver [1].  At
best, using RNDIS seems to be a way to increase your rate
of bluescreens and rebooting.
