In the free software community ath9k are quite common, because many other cards require non-free firmware and so are not supported by 100% free software GNU/Linux distributions. http://h-node.org/ is a website that reference laptops that work with 100% free software distributions. So there are a high number of laptops that have ath9k in that list, however the number of users is quite low.

Since many electronic devices are changed without changing the product name, double check the hardware before buying...
