Suggested README update #184

Description

@Stoatwblr

This is a FYI and documentation tweak request

The kernel 6.13/14 rtw88_8821au driver will NOT install if iwlwifi modules are active and throws symbol versioning message errors that (wrongly) point to mac80211/cfg80211 (It's actually the entire rtw8[89] family of modules affected)

Once you totally remove iwlwifi packages (they're a separate .deb on Ubuntu systems) the rtw_88/89 series modules work perfectly

If you don't completely uninstall iwlwifi, those modules will be pulled in as a dependency when installing rtw88 modules even if you've blacklisted or manually removed (rmmod) the module and the errors will cause no end of frustration for obvious reasons

This problem shows up if attempting to install/use your modules from this git too.

Please add a note to the Readme, as this git comes up as one of the top search hits and I'm sure many people would appreciate the pointer
