install guide turns off NetworkManager wifi

[erickthesublime]

Version Information: $ linux-lts is being used I think

• Distribution Information ( run uname -a ) Linux archlinux 6.6.46-1-lts #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed, 14 Aug 2024 15:21:14 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
• swhkd version ( swhkd -V ) Simple-Wayland-HotKey-Daemon 1.3.0-dev

Describe the bug:
tldr: pkexec swhkd causes "NetworkManager $nmcli general" to show "Wifi: Disabled" and errors

background: During installtion, I ran into a few error after doing make setup, which I ignored, then I did make clean, which cleaned 0 files, then doing make resulted in another error that chat GPT said was due to me missing "pkgconf" which I then proceeded to use pacman to reinput "make" which I think gave me two warnings at the end but overall seemed successful.

main issue: pkexec swhkd errors and turns off my wifi in nmcli aka "NetworkManager"

Expected behavior:
to be able to config swhkd and use hotkeys

Actual behavior:
the last step of the install procedure results in error and my wifi being turned off

To Reproduce:
$ pkexec swhkd

Yes, this is a known issue, pr #254 will hopefully fix this soon. till then you can use release 1.21(or some not so old commit) which does not seem have this problem
