It appears that when the "dummy" network interface is statically compiled
(i.e. not as a module) into the kernel, its name is now "dummy0".  It used
to have that name only when compiled as a module.  However, the kernel
configuration help text still says "dummy", not "dummy0" for a statically
compiled interface.  Has anyone noticed this?

Has bugzilla.kernel.org returned after the kernel.org web site hack?  When
I try to access it, my browser times out.
