Hey all! I love this project so great work. I am getting started with one of the examples and hitting this error when I run it. Any ideas?

I am trying this on a Thinkpad running ubuntu.

~/ethercrab$ RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --example discover --release -- eth0

I'd guess it's pretty much what the error message says: "Operation not permitted."

The stack uses raw sockets, which require cap_net_raw and cap_net_admin (iirc). Try running

setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip target/release/examples/discover

as root (e.g. using sudo) and please try again
