Bug Description
```
$ sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off
Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.
```
No idea why. It should work and I have wlan0 listed here:
```
$ sudo iwconfig
[sudo] password for michael-heuberger:
eth0 no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
lo no wireless extensions.
```
Any clues? Or is this a bug? Thanks for helping!
