Both this and the next one are already fixed in wireless-2.6...

commit 65486c8b30498dd274eea2c542696f22b63fe5b8
Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>

cfg80211: fix error path in cfg80211_wext_siwscan

If there's an invalid channel or SSID, the code leaks
the scan request. Always free the scan request, unless
it was successfully given to the driver.
