Generally speaking, look for a radiowave-like icon where the network connection area in the task bar should be. If it has radio waves, you're connected to wifi.
The more technical answer would be to figure out what interface your wireless card uses, and then find it in the output of ifconfig. If it has an IP address there, it's connected. But the first one is much easier
