You're lucky that it only effects the remote control. A lot of people
(including me) can't use this card after a reboot at all. Check your
syslog whether the card is found in a "warm" or "cold" state after a
reboot. If it's found in a warm state, the firmware doesn't get loaded
properly. If your card is found in a cold state, then you have a
different problem.

I don't have a solution other than always shut it down and switch it
back on. That shouldn't be more difficult than rebooting for your GF ;-)
