  Little more info->
  After using the remote for an unknown time (eg not verifiable) the module lirc_mceusb all of a sudden stops working.
  By trying to do a rmmod the session hangs & when I do a ps aux|grep rmmod I get the D -->

  root     21502  0.0  0.0   3908   520 ?        D    15:06   0:00 rmmod
  lirc_mceusb

  There's no way I can remove the module unless I restart.
  I tried to find out if it happens after a certain amount of time or with a certain key combo from the remote but to no use. I can see the remote still being responsive as the red LED keeps blinking if i press a button on the remote.

  As far as I can see this has something to do with the module
  lirc_mceusb.

  If more information is needed please let me know.
