Can depend on the version of nmap, and also whether running nmap as root.
$ nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24 does not provide me with MAC addresses on my local
network, but running the command as root ...
# nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24 does provide me with MAC addresses.
as does
# nmap -snP 192.168.1.0/24 (which also finds our wifi connected Android
phones)
