Proper way to prevent a device (that's unrecognized) fromhotplugging?

[me at prestoncrawford.com]

I did put it in /etc/hotplug/blacklist. I put usb-storage there. That's the point, though. I don't
want to have to do that. I'd rather blacklist the Rio somehow. Like make sure it gets assigned to a
specific device then blacklist that device. Or something. I'm just not sure how you go about that.
usb-storage is too broad to blacklist. Includes cameras, usb memory keys, etc.

Try putting it into /etc/hotplug/blacklist.

#
# Listing a module here prevents the hotplug scripts from loading it.
# Usually that'd be so that some other driver will bind it instead,
# no matter which driver happens to get probed first.  Sometimes user
# mode tools can also control driver binding.
#
# Syntax:  driver name alone (without any spaces) on a line. Other
# lines are ignored.
