As I said, I am running the updated firmware, but it does not have the 
operator specifc extensions for 7.2Mbps support.  We will only get this 
if our network operator ever releases an update.

Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that there are situations when 
you _really_ want to blacklist a device, and it seems to me that udevd 
is the ideal place to do it...
