failed to determine route on Macbook Air

I did a search but didn't find anything that exactly relates to my problem. Please forgive if this has been addressed in the past.

I am testing nmap 4.76 on my Macbook Air and I noticed an interesting problem. I'm testing scans over the wireless interface. When I initially run a scan using root, I get an error. If I run the same command as a user and then try again as root it succeeds. Any thoughts on the inconsistency?
