I ran lspci and no mention of bluetooth happened. dmesg.log output
returned:
[ 402.931062] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.22
[ 402.931086] NET: Registered PF_BLUETOOTH protocol family
[ 402.931088] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized
[ 402.931092] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized
[ 402.931094] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized

The disk that came with this claimed it was an realtek-0179 device if
memory serves.
The Linux instructions were in an .mp4 file that was inaudible on my
