Is there any pre-requisite to be able to turn power management off for wlan ?

Code:
~ $ devel-su -c "/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 power off"
Password:
Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not permitted.
~ $
I'm always getting this error (I tried: from terminal as root, as user, connecting via ssh over usb, with or without internet connection set).
