Bluetooth dongle not working - no bluetooth module - x86_64

Hi, today I have bought new bluetooth dongle (4World Accesories) and I have problem to make it work. I've read wiki, posts I could google but there is no solution that could help me with my problem. Here are some outputs:

lsusb

rfkill list

bluetoothctl

[bluetooth]# power on
No default controller available
[bluetooth]# list
[bluetooth]# 

I think main reason is that there is no bluetooth module loaded but also I can't load it anyhow, any ideas what should I do?

best regards,
