if you are running it as the root user it should work, if you have setup an
alternate user, that user will have to be put in the sys group, and the
permissions changed on the device file, in order to keep access restricted.
chmod g+rw /devices/pseudo/clone at 0:hme
This should then allow the running user to use the "snoop -P" command, and
also hopefully etherload to work..
