blacklisting a device

[Cheuksan Edward Wang]

I have a special USB device. HAL tries to probe it and I get a lot of these
error messages in my log:

usb 2-2: hald timed out on ep0in
usb 2-2: hald timed out on ep0in
usb 2-2: hald timed out on ep0in


lsusb gives the correct VID and PID

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 07f2:0001

How do I blacklist this device so HAL doesn't touch it?  I want HAL to
completely skip this device based on its VID and PID. I can't use
/etc/hotplug/blacklist because it doesn't use any special driver. I have
tried making an fdi file which matches but it doesn't help.

Any help would be much appreciated.
