Thanks.

```
$ sudo iw wlan0 set power_save off
```

seemed to work without any errors.

```
$ cat /sys/module/ath9k/parameters/ps_enable
0
```

Yes it returned a zero.

Title:
  Unable to turn powersave for wlan0 off

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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  
            Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=off   
            Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
            Encryption key:off
            Power Management:off
            
  lo        no wireless extensions.
  ```

  Any clues? Or is this a bug? Thanks for helping!
