My ADSL connection is PPPoA only, which is just PPPoE with ATM. They
work at different layers so if you bridge your adsl modem and handle
only the ATM part, then openbsd pppoe can do the rest. So this means
your ADSL modem will have no public facing IP and reconnecting to it may
be tricky once you have set it up. So be careful how you set it up.
Can you please post your ppp configuration file?
So on the Dlink modem all you just did was to set it on bridge mode.
Why it shouldn't work with the 1-port version? I have this (300t) :-(
but I upgraded the firmware....
Please review this as you have already been given the answer:

Here again for you: set your NIC to use DHCP, do not use pppoe.
The WAN allocated from the ISP's RADUIS server will be passed through
the DLink, via DHCP, to your NIC.
If you aren't convinced, put a windows box with a DHCP NIC behind the
DLink while in bridge mode, and see it get a routable address.
Try this: unplug the telephone wire, reboot the DLink, and your NIC will
get a private address (on windows, do an ipconfig /renew). Plug in the
telephone wire, and it will get a public one. Job done.
These routers are designed to be no brainers for windows users, yet
there are no windows drivers, therefore it uses conventional networking.
The router does PPPoA, this is a superior technology as the PPP session
sits directly on top of the telco's ATM system. PPPoE is PPP over
ethernet, over ATM: an extra layer that is not needed.
