nope, mabee this should be in the FAQ as its asked so often.

it IS possible to put the M10 into bridging mode, however, if you do this
it put IP packets onto telecoms ATM circuit and this tends to distress
them somewhat, the distress usually ends up in a call to your phone with a
telecom person asking why it is you are doing things you are not supposed
to be doing. generally you are told that if you do this again your service
will be terminated with extreme prejiduce as this has the potential to
break service for other customers on their ATM network (I'm sure there are
a lotta other people out there useing telecoms ATM network that would be
pretty peeved if a wee ADSL customer broke it)

the short form, do NOT put your M10 into bridging mode.
