What is the purpose of that network block in wpa_supplicant
configuration file? That's not the way Interworking network selection is
supposed to be used.. You are only expected to configure the cred block
and then use interworking_select/interworking_connect control interface
commands or auto_interworking=1 configuration parameter. Temporary
network block will be generated automatically for matching networks.

auth_algs=3 (i.e., also enabling Shared Key authentication) is not valid
for a WPA2 network. This should be either removed or set to the default
value 1.

Enabling TKIP for a Hotspot 2.0 is not allowed.

Are you setting hessid and access_network_type here on purpose? I would
never include those for a real world use case..

This should not be here if you are trying to use Interworking network
selection / Hotspot 2.0.

This is used to generate a temporary network block automatically
whenever a matching AP is selected for a connection.
