They are there.  As root:
# which insmod modprobe ifconfig
/sbin/insmod
/sbin/modprobe
/sbin/ifconfig

And they come from the following rpm packages.  Again, as root:
# which insmod modprobe ifconfig  | xargs rpm -qf | sort -u
modutils-2.4.26-16
net-tools-1.60-25.1

yum or apt-get, although I prefer apt-get:

Automounting exists in Fedora (see /etc/init.d/autofs and 'man autofs') 
  I don't know how Mandrake does automounting so I can't say how it 
compares with Fedora.
