[PlanetCCRMA] fc6: core components available for testing

[Hector Centeno]

Ok, now I'm finding that after a second reboot the battery monitor
came back but the wireless driver wasn't working and it was using 100%
of the CPU. A third reboot made everything functional. I did notice
that on the first boot (when the battery monitor wasn't working)
dkms_autoinstaller failed.

cheers!

Hector
