No idea, but here is your answer(s).

You need to be root to insert modules.
As root do;
cd /to/where/snull_load/file/is
chmod a+x snull_load

./snull_load
But you will still get some errors because local0 and local1 are not know on 
your system, either define them in /etc/hosts or edit snull_load and replace 
local0 and local1 with an internal IP# as in.
ifconfig sn0 10.1.2.11
ifconfig sn1 10.1.2.12

They are not defined in /etc/hosts.

Because the ifconfig line had an invalid host nothing gets configured.

You can as root simply do;
cd /to/snull/dir
modprobe snull
ifconfig sn0 10.1.2.11 up
ifconfig sn1 10.1.2.12 up
route add -net 10.1.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 sn0
route add -net 10.1.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 sn1

You can also place the snull modules in /lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/net
run depmod -a
place the following in /etc/modules.conf
alias sn0 snull
alias sn1 snull
Now if you use ifconfig to up the interface without loading the module first 
then it should get loaded automaticly altho, i have not tryed it here because 
i do not intend to use snX ifc's.
