I can sorta-kinda get it to work, but something is messy with my internal LAN so I don't get the .local address I expect.
Using MicroPython v1.23.0-preview.324.gd11ca092f on 2024-04-17: the latest nightly
Immediately after loading the network module, but before starting any network services, I set the hostname:
The Pico W reports the following network details:picowX.local doesn't resolve, though. But looking through resolvectl output, I see my DNS Domain is ht.home. Worth a try ...So a qualified success, and I hope it's enough for you to go on with.

- set your hostname early. Apparently the hostname is only advertised once immediately after the network is initialized. So you have to set the hostname before the network starts.
- You may need to use a MicroPython nightly build. I wasn't able to get 1.22 to work, but I can't guarantee that was the cause.
