depmod modprobe missing

I find myself with an unusual problem.

I'm installing NDISWrapper, and all is going well, untill I try to use depmod or modprobe. These commands are not found. After googling, I was led to the impression that these were basic shell commands on every system. So how is my Fedora Core 5 system without them.

I suppose I really mean, how can I get them. No luck with google. Thanks all.

You need to be root to run "modprobe".
su to root before running it. I believe that the modprobe command is supplied by the "module-init-tools" package. It is probably installed but you can check with the command "rpm -q module-init-tools".

Nevermind. Somehow, my installation of FC5 doesn't include /sbin in PATH. I should have noticed that before posting. Sorry for wasting you time, and thank you for your help.
