I wanted to set my laptop (Fedora 14) using wpa_supplicant in such a way that it should connect to AP with roaming consortium ID 2233445566 with domain homenet.com

I don't know why it crash or reinitialized. It does not show any log for failure but it just restart.

Yes, you may be right. The log say

I used same command when I am not associated with any AP. The error is same Off-channel. This time status show DISCONNECTED.

My credential are given below. Do we require more

cred={
        domain="homenet.com"
        roaming_consortium=2233445566
}

Actually I can not find any log for this failure. It restart or reinitialized without any reason.

When it is connected to some different SSID and I give interworking_select command. Again wpa_supplicant crash and restart

I set cred

cred={
        domain="homenet.com"
        roaming_consortium=2233445566
}

Is it not enough to show in list_cred or not?

I set only network without any specific SSID block as

network={
        key_mgmt=NONE
}

I have not set any SSID as I want to connect to AP with consortium ID 2233445566 irrespective of SSID.
