      I got same issue while using the default deployment upgrade pack. found the realtek default installed driver causing problem on IPv6 traffic RXCSUM_IPV6. This flag cannot remove

      re0: flags=1008843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,LOWER_UP> metric 0 mtu 1500
      description: WAN
      options=20201b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,WOL_MAGIC,RXCSUM_IPV6>
      ether 00:e0:4c:17:57:1f
      inet 122.57.217.218 netmask 0xfffff800 broadcast 122.57.223.255
      inet6 fe80::2e0:4cff:fe17:571f%re0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
      media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
      status: active
      nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
      re1: flags=1008943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,LOWER_UP> metric 0 mtu 1500
      description: LAN
      options=20201b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,WOL_MAGIC,RXCSUM_IPV6>

      Finally I have download the driver and overwrite the current one

      https://pkg01-atx.netgate.com/packages/pfSense_master_amd64-pfSense_devel/All/realtek-re-kmod-1100.00.1500030_1.pkg

      after this action. the re0,re1 has checksum flag off and can work on ipv6 traffic

      Realtek is commonly used in many systems. my one is zimaborad 832. embedded with realtek nic
