Well, Nmap doesn't really know what you are "trying to do".  Just what
you have told it to.  As the man page states:

 "When a privileged user tries to scan targets on a local ethernet
  network, ARP requests (-PR) are used unless --send-ip was specified."

So try adding --send-ip, and Nmap will do what I think you are looking for.
