[Eric Doutreleau]

Hi

i m trying to install f13 on a computer with cobbler and pxe but when i
boot the network card is not detected.
i would like to update the initrd image file with updated modules

Does anybody have a pointer on how to do that?

existence of "dracut", which is the command used to generate initramfs
files.  Is that what you need to get started?
