Ugreen BT701 (Bluetooth 6.0) Adapter

Just thought I’d do some reporting (and perhaps ask if there’s a workaround), but I purchased this Ugreen bluetooth adapter hoping perhaps some day I’d be able to skip having separate headsets for my PC.

It doesn’t appear to show up as a bluetooth adapter in Fedora 43 (KDE). It does show up as a USB device (and interestingly, as an audio source).

Under lsusb it shows up with the following two devices (in normal mode and LE mode):

If I can help add support by performing any testing I’d be more than happy to help when I have time

Just wanted to provide an update since I’ve had some time - this “bluetooth” adapter actually does all of the bluetooth functions on the USB stick - since it shows up as an audio device, this actually works out of the box (turns out, the manual is useful).

So the only bad part of this adapter is pairing can be a pain since you have to enter pair mode on both devices (earbuds don’t have a gui so this can be frustrating).
