I'm affraid, you're wrong. Tomorrow I'll bring SD from home, and check 
if appropriate device appeared w/ hald being stopped. I strongly believe 
that hotplug/udev will handle events w/o hald _for my card reader_ , but 
I can't check this right now because I have no card at the moment.

Do you know how this can be done? I mean stop polling on a [selected] 
device.
