I didn't actually read these questions until after I posted the 
solution to your NIC problem in VMware...

Things like 'lsmod' are considered 'priveledged commands' and are in 
/sbin  . Another directory for priveledged commands is /usr/sbin  . 
Normal commands are in /usr/bin or /bin as usual.

A normal user's default path in Fedora does not have /sbin or /usr/sbin  .

One way to find the location of commands is either 'which' or 'wheris' 
 . For example 'whereis lsmod'

The fact it isn't working does not meen it's the wrong driver.. See my 
other post for solution.

Try 'su -' . root's path includes /sbin and /usr/sbin . The '-' tells 
su to load root's environment. 'man su '  for more details.
