User friendly or not, I'd appreciate instructions on how to do it. I tried changing everything I could find that looked like it might be related (see the first couple comments in this bug) but nothing I could find stopped the polling. In hoary it was possible to get hald to stop polling by editing a file, but it doesn't seem to work in either breezy or dapper.
