You need an XBee module and a USB interface board. I believe an XBee S2B or S2C would work, and probably the new XBee3 Zigbee. There's a sample called zigbee_walker that will use ZDO/ZDP and ZCL protocols to enumerate clusters and attributes of a device and display their values.

But you'll need to find a Zigbee device to communicate with, and figure out how to get them to connect.

Or if you're just looking to do wireless communications between two or more Linux devices, you can create an XBee-only network and use something like the transparent_client to send messages between them.
