I've been using a Thompson SpeedTouch 536 in straight bridge mode in front of a WRT54GL (OpenWrt) with the WRT handling the pppoe dialing but your modem should handle it in bridge mode OK. When you switch to bridge mode you usually lose administrative access to the modem. I haven't played with half bridging so not much help there. This is with Bigpong and it needs the pppoe username and password. You could try seeing if it works in gateway? mode before switching to bridge? With this modem in gateway mode it has a fairly good CLI.
