CentOS - Apr 2007 - How to get arcnet working with other-than-root accounts?

Hello!

I've successfully gotten the arcnet driver compiled and installed into a 
Centos kernel.  Admittedly,
with a lot of help.  Currently, I'm using the following script to get 
arcnet up and running:

cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9/drivers/net/arcnet
insmod arcnet.ko
insmod arc-rawmode.ko
insmod com20020.ko
insmod com20020-pci.ko node=3 device=arc0 timeout=3 backplane=0 clockp=0 
clockm=0
insmod rfc1201.ko
ifconfig arc0 up

The raw-recv and raw-send examples now work after this, but only when 
run as root.
When run as a regular user, I get:

  socket: Operation not permitted

So: what can I do to remove that root-only restriction?

Thank you!
