Up to what? Seems like the laptops work right out of the box with their touchpads, until you plug a mouse or other pointing device in. And they work with Windows or Linux without any special driver. On my Dell it does, anyway.
I've never seen a plug-in touchpad, if such a thing exists, but I would think it would be like a mouse--plug it in and use it, no? If you need a special driver the manufacturer should supply it, but maybe only for Windows and Mac.

If you mean you are missing features from your touchpad, you can try using synclient to query what is supported and then set them.

Off-topic: I thought you're out of this list, aren't you?

Don't eat them in the first place...
I think you need to provide more details, though. What sort of touchpad is it, is it completely dormant, etc.
The one built into my laptop "just worked," and has done since at least Fedora 9. There could be hotkeys on your keyboard that disable the touchpad, or something like plugging a mouse in disables it (not that I've seen that behaviour on Linux).
