in the log file journalctl or /var/log/syslog, after plugging in the usb (I
am not sure if it is usb stick, because you mentioned card, but anywa)
When bluetooth initializes you should see if it is looking for firmware and
in your case not loading it.

It could be that you have to install linux firmware packages free or not
free (depends on the chip you have on the device)

You could also check output of command rfkill list and see if hci0 device
exists and is blocked

The other thing use hcitool command (hcitool dev) and see if it shows hci
device - I have seen some cases that hciattach needs to be run to enable
the device.
