Is your wireless network protected? If it is, you don't have to worry about 'free riders', and if not, then you should protect it asap.– mikewhateverNov 13, 2011 at 3:35

Without knowing anything about your hardware or Ubuntu installation you really do not need any special software to find this out, you should be able to log in to the wireless router using any web browser and see a list of the attached devices.
This Lifehacker article has it pretty much covered.
You can restrict access to any router by MAC address filtering though a better method is to use a strong password and WPA encryption.
Good luck.
