Excuse me if I don't understand all commercial wording but to my knowledge a RFC1483/2684 connection is routed OR bridged. br2684 is only the tool to use for a bridge and not a routed connection : it start with 'br' To use a routed connection, you need to use atmarp/atmarp and recompile your kernel with corresponding kernel settings (this is for 2.4) CONFIG_ATM=m CONFIG_ATM_CLIP=m CONFIG_ATM_CLIP_NO_ICMP=y I know a patched br2684 have existed wich support routed IP too with a modified code and a supplementary parameter, but I am unsure this still work with 2.6 kernel.
