It worked smoothly 

I can have access to the modem as long as I have cable plugged into eth port

I never knew what bridge option used for before this :-)

Now I have easy connectivity from the outside.

But I still have to do allot to have project Observer to work

Then how about people developing system like m0n0wall

Thanks allot for the big effort.
