I want to create an entry with a key NetName and a value bnx2 in the node with name=B and if it's not present. I'm using augeas with puppet.

Here's what you can do with augtool:

augtool> defvar hash /files/39143450.xml/root/node[#attribute/name="Network"]/node[#attribute/name="B"]/info/hash
augtool> defnode entry $hash/entry[key/#text="NetName"]
augtool> set $entry/key/#text "NetName"
augtool> set $entry/value/#attribute/type "string"
augtool> set $entry/value/#text "bnx2"
augtool> save

Translating that into a Puppet defined type:

define entry (
  $value,
  $file,
  $ensure = 'present',
  $node = 'B',
) {
  case $ensure {
    'present': {
      $changes = [
        "defnode entry entry[key/#text='${name}'] ''",
        "set \$entry/key/#text '${name}'",
        "set \$entry/value/#attribute/type 'string'",
        "set \$entry/value/#text '${value}'",
      ]
    }

    'absent': {
      $changes = "rm entry[key/#text='${name}']"
    }

    default: {
      fail("Unknown value for ensure: ${ensure}")
    }
  }

  augeas { "Set ${title} in ${file}":
    incl    => $file,
    lens    => 'Xml.lns',
    context => "/files${file}/root/node[#attribute/name='Network']/node[#attribute/name='${node}']/info/hash",
    changes => $changes,
  }
}

entry { 'NetName':
  value => 'bnx2',
  file  => '/path/to/39143450.xml',
}
