The CD that came with the device listed RTL8671B, but it's not on Realtek's website. Instead the manual points you to:

Direct download and the popup window for 1.6.1015.3014
didn't initially work. I ended up needing to right click the link and select Save target as
.
For it to work for me on Windows 10, I unzipped the cab file into a folder and then used Device Manager to look at that folder. Worked like a charm.
The firmware
rtl8761b_mp_chip_bt40_fw_asic_rom_patch_new.dat
included can probably also be installed in Linux as/lib/firmware/rtl_bt/rtl8761bu_fw.bin.*
(after being compressed with xz or zstd or the like, to match your existing firmware distribution), and supply some of the same benefits there.Whether or not a given VID/PID works out of the box on Linux depends on two factors, whether they've been added to the kernel, and whether the firmware is correct. This thread would seem to indicate there may be a problem with the 8761BU (USB) firmware that currently ships, which is from November of 2021: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bluetooth/msg103399.html
