You can do this one of several ways.
Create a unix group called it something meaningful -- say "netsetup".
Put all the users you want to run this command in that group. Then run
the visudo command as root, and add something like
%netsetup ALL = /path/to/network-setup-script
You'll need to play with this a bit. Alternatively, you can setup a
Cmnd_Alias and User_Alias list in /etc/sudoers using visudo and do it
that way. It just depends on how you want to manage things. The first
lets you setup the sudo portion once and manage access to this command
via a unix group. The second option lets you do all the management via
the visudo command. Look at the examples at the end of the end sudoers
man page (man sudoers) for more on how to use the Cmnd_Alias and
User_Alias directives.
