I have a DSL-G604T in bridge mode and my Linux router is running pppoe via an ethernet connection to talk to it and then on to the outside world. The external IP address is assigned to the router's ppp0 interface. In theory it all starts up cleanly on reboot or if the connection dies, but I haven't tested that yet. All the authentication with the ISP is done using ppp on the Linux box, I think I started with the pppoeconf package and then hand-edited the files once it had generated them (and because I'd screwed up some of the config).
