Solved:Block individual hardware from USBHID

Morning.

I have an Arch System with a hardwired keyboard and a bluetooth mouse. It works fine.

However, there's a really annoying 24 second delay on boot because USBHID insists on checking the bluetooth device in the boot sequence, and it is timing out (YICHIP Wireless device ID 3151:3020). This seems to be a 6.18 change as I noticed it's doing the same thing on the Arch downloadable boot image now, and it didn't beforei (Jan->Feb 26). It gives an error -110 which I can't find much about.

I think it's an initialisation thing as it sometimes is okay from power on, but never on a reboot.

I tried blacklisting USBHID but this didn't work (and is too aggressive a solution anyway ?), may not be a module ?

Is there a way of getting USBHID to simply ignore this device ? Or would this disable the mouse ?

I did wonder if it's trying to find a bluetooth keyboard on the same adapter ? The weird thing is despite the error messages it works absolutely perfectly. It's just annoying

Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: Solved:Block individual hardware from USBHID

Added a rule to /etc/udev/rules.dc called 81-yichip.rules

# Disable YICHIP
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="3151", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3020", ATTR{authorized}="0"
