Try to avoid the Realtek interface(s) as WAN interface and it should disappear.

When the problem occurs, I am using the realtek network card and the vendor driver as the WAN. I'm not sure if this is a realtek driver issue, but I understand that if it is a realtek driver issue then it is likely unsolvable.
I configured and tried to use the Intel NIC as the WAN interface and it worked without any problems for the past few hours. I close this issue for now. If the problem still occurs with Intel NIC in the future, I will reopen it.

Yes I think it is. There is also the "os-realtek-re" plugin with the Realtek vendor driver that can help in such cases, but that's not my favourite recommendation because it does not hold support for very old re(4) devices anymore, but if that one works for you it's certainly beneficial to install the plugin, but make sure the interface remains usable after reboot (or check compatibility with your chipset first).

I can confirm that I was already using the driver provided by the "os-realtek-re" plugin at the time of this problem. The BSD default driver is one I've used before, but I think that one has other issues as well.
For me, it's frustrating that the realtek NIC isn't removable on the motherboard and without being able to use it properly and consistently under BSD, I'm left with no choice but to try a different OS or replace the device with a new one.

Completely understandable. Realtek on FreeBSD has always been problematic.

Before you add a new report, we ask you kindly to acknowledge the following:
Describe the bug
After the system had been running for a while I noticed that the memory usage was abnormal, and after running
ps -aux
I could see a large number of rc.newwanipv6 related processes.If processes that keep starting and don't quit eventually running out of memory.
I believe this does not have that issue on opnsense 24.1.7.
ps -aux output
ps -aux | grep rc.newwanipv6 | wc -l
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Enabling WAN6 and waiting a while should reproduce it.
Expected behavior
Processes should exit or should not start processes indefinitely.
