ok working now with:

airmon-ng stop ath0
ifconfig wifi0 down
macchanger --mac X wifi0

yes, I would stop wifi0 with:

sudo ifconfig wifi0 down

I am doing a pen-test of my wep wireless network and in order to put my card in monitor mode, I do the following:

airmon-ng stop ath0
ifconfig wifi0 down
macchanger --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 wifi0...
