how to blacklist some hardware

Bonjour,

On a Toshiba laptop, I have an integrated TV card which is strangely not
recognised by udev, but which install the correct kernel module
specified by lspci.

lspci gives:

02:09.0 0400: 14f1:5b7a
	Subsystem: 1179:0010
	Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 19
	Memory at 48000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64M]
	Capabilities: [44] Vital Product Data
	Capabilities: [4c] Power Management version 2
	Kernel modules: cx18

But at the beginning of the boot sequence, I have an error message:

dmesg | grep cx18

cx18: Start initialization, version 1.1.0
cx18-0: Initializing card 0
cx18-0: Unknown card: vendor/device: [14f1:5b7a]
cx18-0: subsystem vendor/device: [1179:0111]
cx18-0: Defaulting to Hauppauge HVR-1600 card
cx18-0: Please mail the vendor/device and subsystem vendor/device IDs
and what kind of
cx18-0: card you have to the ivtv-devel mailinglist (www.ivtvdriver.org)
cx18-0: Prefix your subject line with [UNKNOWN CX18 CARD].

cx18-0: Error -1 registering devices
cx18-0: Error -1 on initialization
cx18: probe of 0000:08:09.0 failed with error -1
cx18: End initialization

And it takes ages before going at the next step.

In fact, I do not need to have this card working and I don't want to
make a lot of things described in some google searches to have it working.

Is there a way to tell udev to ignore this hardware and skip anything
regarding it.

Thanks for any answer.
