As Stefan wrote, try haveged.

Or: if your CPU has "RDRAND" (i.e. grep rdrand /proc/cpuinfo) it contains
Intel's hardware RNG. Which you have to trust, as it's a proprietary
feature of a big player. But Linux's entropy gathering mixes its output
with other sources of randomness,

Then there are http://www.bitbabbler.org and
http://ubld.it/products/truerng-hardware-random-number-generator/ as
hardware random number generators. Both are worth their money IMO.
