I've been using wireshark for ethernet/wireless

802.15.4/Zigbee, and I'm looking for a cheap-ish way to go about
sniffing out exactly what I'm sending. I've found one page( http://wiki.wireshark.org/IEEE_802.15.4
) involving a $500 radio, and I'm wondering if anybody has used
any other radios to do the same thing. If not, I'm curious how
hard it would be to write something to interface with one of the
many USB-Zigbee sticks I've found while browsing around.
I've probably missed some pages on the wiki or elsewhere that walk
through how to add this kind of stuff, but even just telling me
so(And maybe pointing me in the right direction) would be helpful.
Thanks!

The radio modules can be obtained quite cheaply, approx GBP15 to
20, but you'll need to mount them on something to provide power
and the interface to a PC. Jennic also provide the radio
modules in an evaluation kit, but they are back at the GBP 400
mark.
The modules:

The evaluation kit:

To make a working sniffer from a module you need the module, a
3.3V power supply and a USB to 3.3V serial interface.
For some experiments (mainly Radio Control) with the modules
