Do lsusb on the terminal, then the devices are there.

  lsusb
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0cf3:3004 Atheros Communications, Inc. AR3012 
Bluetooth 4.0
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05c6:9092 Qualcomm, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1bcf:2c55 Sunplus Innovation Technology Inc.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub



Then you can google around for

0cf3:3004  linux

and then you see, supported or not ..
