I'd help you, but I gave up a long time ago trying to make bluetooth
work. It's really a shame that this bug is almost 3 years old and it
still exists. If you still want to give it a shot, the last ubuntu
version on which bluetooth works is 13.10.

For wifi, you can see this thread, there's a package which works flawlessly in Ubuntu 14.04 (I've not tested it on later versions though):

The card in itself isn't shit as you say, because in Windoze everything
is ok. Poor is the support from the Ubuntu team, they're releasing
unstable versions of Ubuntu where a lot of bugs are still present, and
they don't even make what's already there more stable. That sucks. I
must agree, yeah, all the Linux stuff is cool, but the support for
specific hardware is by far worse than in any Windoze version. I would
fix this is I knew enough about low level C, but meh.
