Those commands are not distro/kernel-dependant. Usually normal users change to root with command su root but then root's environment variables (e.g. PATH) contains only normal users variables and PATH does not contain important paths (/sbin, /usr/sbin and /usr/local/sbin). It's better to use command su - root then you should get root's env variables and insmod and modprobe should work. If above does not help, try /sbin/insmod /sbin/modprobe or try to find those with locate locate insmod BR Kimmo Koivisto
