How to tell if your wi-fi connection has been compromised?

Hi,

I've been running a wireless network under WPA-Personal encryption for about a year now.

I've just helped a (non pc-literate) friend install a secured wireless network. She asked me "how do I know if this network gets hacked?"

And, do you know, I couldn't answer her! I assumed any decent encryption would deter any casual war-drivers and the like so it's not a question that I've ever considered.

So............how would you know? Presumably there's software out there that'll flag up intrusion attempts?
