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.

It is hard to find which of devices from here https://h-node.org/bluetooth/catalogue/en  really exist in electronic web-shop I use, but I've found this one:
'Cambridge Silicon Radio Ltd Orico Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter (BTA-402-BK)CSR85108ware BD-400'
https://h-node.org/bluetooth/catalogue/en/1/1/Cambridge-Silicon-Radio-Ltd/undef/yes/USB/bluetooth-works/undef

In the web-shop there is exactly this 'Bluetooth adapter ORICO BTA-408-BK v.4.0'.
408 instead of 402 as in h-node.

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?
