For a bridge connection creation for adsl 502 router you require to make two kinds of setup
1. Router setup

Router setup:
It is always best to start of with resetting your router. You can do this by inserting a pen into the routers backside hole which says reset. Assuming that your router has been resetted follow the steps given below to create a bridge connection.

5. Select bridge connection instead of PPPoe
6. Select the auto pvc check box.
7. Save the connection.
8. Go to tools and select save all
9. Restart the router.
Dialer Setup:
Though I have tried this on ubuntu and kubuntu, this should also work for other linux installations as well.
1. Open a terminal window.
2. Type "sudo pppoeconf" and press enter.
3. There are some simple questions you have to answer.
Question

3.2 OKAY TO MODIFY Yes
3.3 POPULAR OPTIONS Yes
3.4 ENTER USERNAME Enter your phone no. here eg. 2437xxxx
3.5 ENTER PASSWORD Enter your password here.

4. To connect type "pon dsl-provider"
5. To check if connection is on type "plog"
Small tip
If you are having a connection problem and feel that the connection could break and you want it to continously reconnect then try the following in a terminal
while true; do pon dsl-provider; sleep 1m; done
Where 1m stands for 1m . If you want to change delay you can type
xm for x minutes.
xs for x seconds.
Comments, clarification and corrections if any are welcome.
