Ben,
It may not be an ideal solution, but I've used a Expresscard to PCI-E
Mini adapter that basically plugs into the common express card slot and
provides a pci-express slot so you can use your choice of AR9xxx radio.
That way the BIOS of the Lenovos or HPs of the world don't stop you up.
Admittedly, it's less than elegant having a 10 cm card hanging out of
your machine, but it does allow great flexibility in testing different
radios.
If you have any difficulty finding an adapter PM me and tell you the one
I use.

Someone stole my previous laptop I was using for ath9k testing...
Any suggestions for a new mid-range laptop that comes standard with
ath9k NICs, or is known to work with ath9k NICs w/out having to
hack the NIC eeprom or laptop BIOS?
I'd prefer a 3x3, but not sure they exist, so a 2x2 a/b/g/n would be
OK as well..
Thanks,
Ben
