--- Comment #1 from Stephen Hurd <shurd at FreeBSD.org> ---
Can you post the output of:

ifconfig -m igb0 | grep capabilities

> man ifconfig says that "rxcsum" and "txcsum" includes both IPv4 and IPv6 options.

I don't see that in the man page...

There's a patch in PR 231151 which fixes the rxcsum behaviour (though for some
reason, you're not seeing the issue)
