That's a very odd request. If the service is indeed not running, then
"service bla start" is the correct way to set it running. If "service
bla status" is returning an incorrect result -- that is, if it
sometimes says the service is not running when actually it is -- then
fixing that would be an all-around better solution (i.e. not just for
interoperation with Puppet). If you cannot or will not fix the
initscript, then you can use the Service's 'status' parameter to
provide an alternative command by which to determine whether the
service is running.

No, you don't. Perhaps you have a *defined type* network::device, but
if that were a class then each node would have it either once or not
at all. It is important to know the difference because it affects
several aspects of how you design and write your manifests.

This is what resource relationships are for. A good use in this case
would be for each declaration of a network::device instance to specify
a 'before' parameter. For example,
network::device { 'eth0':
# ...
before => Class['network::ipconfig2']
}
That will do the job correctly no matter how many network::device
instances are declared (including zero), and it does not require class
network::iproute2 to know which network::device resources have been or
will be declared. It does, however, require that
Class['network::ipconfig2'] be already declared at the point where the
Network::Device instance is declared (and there are several ways to
ensure that).
