Puppet users - Oct 2008 - Have a good workaround for network service on Fedora?

Has anyone solved status checking for the network service on fedora? 
Since it always returns success, using ''hastatus => true''
does not work.
We have some recipes that always cause the network service to restart 
even when it does not need to.

Not really valid for the network/networking (debian) service - there  
is no daemon, unless you count dhcpcd / networkmanager & friends.

As to the original question, I ship a modified version of the init  
scripts for Ubuntu to do some $(ip link) parsing, also one-count pings  
to the default gateway. Assuming that these are valid metrics in your  
environment - link  up, can ping gateway.
