br2684 is only needed if you want to do pppoe over atm bridging. If you

pppoa is easier because you don't need br2684ctl to create the nas0 
interface. Go with pppoa

This looks like the right firmware for a rev 4 modem. You already posted 
that the udev finds the firmware so it looks like your troubles are just 
running pppd. Try using pppoa
