Could you please send me a verbose wpa_supplicant debug log from a test
run where it crashes or behaves incorrectly (i.e., run it in foreground
with -ddt on command line and save the output)?

You may want to start tests with the station being disconnected. Some
drivers may not like the off-channel operations while associated.

interworking_connect will fail unless matching set of credentials has
been found, so this was expected in this sequence (there would have been
an event message in wpa_cli showing a match).

I would like to see wpa_supplicant debug log showing this.

These commands will fail if there is no BSS entry for the specified
BSSID and that will be the case after restarting wpa_supplicant if it
has not run a scan yet.

It would be nice to see wpa_supplicant debug log for this one, too. In
addition, it could be helpful if you can send me the hostapd
configuration file you used on the AP.

What are you trying to do here? It looks like wpa_supplicant was already
configured with a network block for the same AP that you try to connect
with Interworking..

So you don't actually have any credentials configured? In that case,
interworking_select/connect cannot really do much.
