I'd say turn WEP and WPA off and use IPsec instead, blocking all
non-IKE/IPsec traffic on the AP :) Not sure how much of a pain it is to
set up in practise, but it can't be that bad... surely?

As well as MAC filtering and something like arpwatch to monitor for new
devices popping up so that you're at least likely to be aware of things
going on.

This may require a co-operative AP though..
