If anyone ever needs to configure this modem, this is what has to be 
done. Add these lines to /etc/modprobe.conf:

=========================================================
alias nas0 br2684
install br2684 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install br2684 && \
    /usr/sbin/br2684ctl -c 0 -b -a 0.33 >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
==========================================================

Remember that you have to put acording values to the -a option of 
br2684ctl that reflect how your ISP is working.

Hope it helps.
