    4040Bluetooth 4.x+ Devices will support Bluetooth Classic (aka BR/EDR) and/or Bluetooth Low Energy. Be away they may not support both and if you have a device that supports 'only' BLE it will not be able to use audio streaming such as the A2DP profile as support for BR/EDR is required for that.

     47=== USB based (btusb) ===
     48Their is a large variety of USB based Bluetooth controllers supported by the {{{btusb}}} kernel driver. Here are some common ones that Gateworks has tested:
