Many thanks
nzchris for your work!
I can confirm that your if_bge.ko file is the only file that works perfectly on HP Microserver N40L with the last version of truenas (TrueNAS-13.0-U3.1).
After copying the file on /boot/kernel and add the tunetable now from ifconfig -m bge0 I see all WOL features and the wake on lan feature works like a charm.
I'm new to FreeBSD environment, can you try explaining me how did yo do to compile this driver? Also in case of truenas version upgrade.
Many Thanks!

Hi festo_,
It's been a while so I don't remember all the steps, just remember spending a while trying to get my USB stick to work inside VirtualBox FreeBSD.
I did however take some notes, here you go:
I installed FreeBSD inside VirtualBox to set up a temporary environment to compile the driver.
My notes say that I downloaded the source, I think this may already come with the FreeBSD installation depending on which one you go for.
Instructions for getting source code:
Code:
cd /tmp
fetch http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/13.0-RELEASE/src.txz
cd /usr/src
tar xJvf /tmp/src.txz
Then I basically just followed the original instructions to patch the driver:
Code:
cd /tmp
fetch https://github.com/NamTaf/if_bge_wol/raw/master/if_bge.c.patch
# follow the instructions here to patch driver: https://github.com/NamTaf/if_bge_wol
And finally copied the patched driver from the FreeBSD to my TrueNAS and did the Tunable.
WOL has been working well ever since.
