At this point most easily available that runs Linux is a Raspberry PI with:
   http://openlabs.co/store/Raspberry-Pi-802.15.4-radio

More reliable and easier to work with is a beagle bone with:
   http://lab11.eecs.umich.edu/projects/zigbeag/
but, at this point lab11 isn't in a position to sell them (AFAIK). I have one.

If all you want to do is run 802.11 while 2.4Ghz 802.15.4 is nearby, we can
arrange a playdate in berlin if you like.

If you don't need it to run Linux, then there are a number of devices, the
cutest are the https://pinocc.io/, which seems to have a new name...
