Thanks, Dimitri. I followed your proposed Option 1. It worked as I expected.

Option 1: write your check in C, compile it, make it suid root.

Option 2: in linux device files are usually owned by specific groups. If
that's the case, add the user who runs the script to the group that owns
the device.

If you're looking for network link speed:
Option 3:
$ ethtool eth0 | grep Speed
Cannot get wake-on-lan settings: Operation not permitted
       Speed: 1000Mb/s

works here as regular user.

HTH,
