Make hald ignore a USB device

I'm having a problem with hald and probing of my usb connected smartphone. The problem is that the probing causes the smartphone to attempt to sync with the host computer. I'm using synce to syncronize my smartphone but if fails to connect if hald is running and has provoked a connection attempt. Can I disable this behaviour for just one device (/dev/ipaq)?

Re: Make hald ignore a USB device

So, yet another quick question about HAL. Where does the documentation live? I can't find a manual to RTFM...

Re: Make hald ignore a USB device

I've got a Windows Mobile smartphone (Samsung i700) that works pretty well with synce. It just refuses to work while hald is running. I  need hal because it makes my 6-in-1 card reader work correctly by probing for filesystems. I think that perhaps it's this probing behaviour that messes with the smartphone sync.
