Hello! I want to choose usb bluetooth adapter to connect laptop with bluetooth headphones. Using 'GNU with Linux-Libre 4.20 (beta)' on Lenovo G50-30 and this list of devices I cannot use bluetooth, cause Atheros (wifi adapter with bluetooth all in one) has no free drivers in the kernel.

Can I hope driver will work nice for 408? Is there anywhere this device driver readme to figure out which devices it supports? Linux-Libre-4.20 has also Texas Instruments, Nokia, Mediatek, Qualcomm, Broadcom devices $ find linux-4.20/Documentation -name '*bluet*' ./devicetree/bindings/net/broadcom-bluetooth.txt ./devicetree/bindings/net/qualcomm-bluetooth.txt ./devicetree/bindings/net/ti-bluetooth.txt ./devicetree/bindings/net/nokia-bluetooth.txt ./devicetree/bindings/net/mediatek-bluetooth.txt ./devicetree/bindings/net/bluetooth.txt But these vendors are not presented in h-node. How to choose usb bluetooth adapter which will work exactly?
