Gucchu, you seem to have left out any information about the
ceiling fan.

How are we supposed to diagnose this without
all the details.  Are you running all the fan patchs released
to date? What chipset is the fan running?  How many blades?

Have you scanned the fan for viruses?  When you reboot
your fan does it work right?

Is the fan getting too hot? Does the fan seem to be thrashing?

Ok, ok, I'll stop....

Does the fan use a remote control?  (Mine does, but I have
not tested to see if it interfers with lirc).
