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
