See [0].
Radio board:
- I would advice a 2.4 Ghz at86rf231 or at86rf233 [1].
Supports async xmit handling and has the most supported hardware
flags. Driver is at86rf230.
Interface:
- What you mean with interface? Bus Interface? -> SPI. Or netlink
interface? -> nl802154 with wpan-tools. Don't understand the
question.
Linux platform:
- I think you mean some architecture -> ARM. Then the platform, some
board: The transceiver at [1] was made for RPi which works well on
my side. But the RPi has a lack of mainline support. You have no
USB, this means you have also no ethernet. If you don't need
ethernet, then I would use a simple RPi. If you need ethernet I
would advice to make some adapter board to add the [1] on a
beaglebone [2], which have a good mainline support. This require
some hardware hacking skills.
Note: for RPi I also support you have no other support e.g. HDMI
output or something else. SPI with RPi works mainline perfectly.

Over google I detected that spinics archive this mailinglist [3] (but
doesn't include the early days).
