No, the quotes are not required. This works for me: modprobe dummy numdummies=3
Using /etc/modprobe.conf also works, as you suggested, but without the quotation marks: options dummy numdummies=3
Either way shows this in /proc/net/dev:
dummy0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 dummy1: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 dummy2: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
