Okay, here's what I'm seeing....

May 29 00:49:27 computername kernel: usb.c: USB device 40 (vend/prod
0x45a/0x5009) is not claimed by any active driver.'

So this means basically that since it doesn't know what the device is,
it's just calling it a usb-storage device. It would be nice if it were
picked up as something else (say rio500) and then I could just blacklist
that device in hotplug so it wasn't hotplugged at all. That would be
ideal, I think.

Not sure where I'd go with that.
