Ah, I was looking in /etc/udev. But it was in /lib/udev:

This is the offending rule that selects my generic device:

----

# Device: 1A86:7523
# Baum [NLS eReader Zoomax (20 cells)]
ENV{PRODUCT}=="1a86/7523/*", ENV{BRLTTY_BRAILLE_DRIVER}="bm", GOTO="brltty_usb_run"

When looking at http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids I see:

1a86 QinHeng Electronics
 5512 CH341 in EPP/MEM/I2C mode, EPP/I2C adapter
 5523 CH341 in serial mode, usb to serial port converter
 5584 CH341 in parallel mode, usb to printer port converter
 7522 CH340 serial converter
 7523 CH340 serial converter
 752d CH345 MIDI adapter
 7584 CH340S
 e008 HID-based serial adapter

Generic indeed.

Of those devices found in usb.ids, I only see the first and last as definite Braille devices. The others.. not so sure.

Do with this info what you want.
