arp -a

will dump out the arp cache, which should contain the information if your 
machine has been in contact with that one. I'm not aware of a program to 
manually send an arp query.

You should also be able to see it in the wireless device's admin interface

But if you want to monitor your network and get all the information from your 
own machine, I recommend ntopd. It will give you a complete view of your 
network in a nice web interface
