It does but not directly. It also depends on the clients WiFi card. If it is dual channel card then one channel will be for WLAN and one channel will be for WiDi. But only the devices in the last year or two have dual channel cards. So most devices piggy back on the WLAN with their single channel cards. This can be a problem though if a client gets associated with a different access point in the middle of a WiDi session.
