This currently works with network/physical:default by simply not
creating any hostname.<intf> files and placing /etc/nsswitch.files
at /etc/nsswitch.conf.

This much isn't related to NWAM, but I agree that there's something
amiss here.  The indirect dependencies between network/physical (default
or nwam, it doesn't matter) and graphical-login/gdm should be looked at,
as there's indeed no obvious logical relationship between a graphical
login screen and networking configuration.  Perhaps a bug should be
filed.
