> +=================================

> +Hyper-V is a hypervisor integrated into Window Server 2008, Windows 10
> +and later versions. It supports a para-virtualized network interface
> +called netvsc that is visible on the virtual machine bus (VMBUS). In
> +the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK), we provide a Network Virtual
> +Service Client (NetVSC) Poll Mode Driver (PMD). The NetVSC PMD supports
> +Windows Server 2016 and Microsoft Azure cloud.

The way you set up the link here is wrong
.. _`driverctl`: https://gitlab.com/driverctl/driverctl ---> `driverctl <https://gitlab.com/driverctl/driverctl>`_
