Problem solved: I needed to set wan.proto to none. This shouldn't be necessary except that the TP-Link TL-WR1043ND v1.8 has a hardware bug that affects the WAN/LAN ports.

What about adding manual entry into wpa_supplicant.conf?
For SSID with 'umlaut' just add ssid-entry in hex.
SSID=$(echo 'SSID' | xxd -u -p)

This issue has been solved as of systemd v197 with the introduction of persistent naming for network devices.
According to the freedesktop Predictable Network Interface Names page, the kernel simply assigned names based on the order they were probed by the relevant drivers:
The classic naming scheme for network interfaces applied by the kernel is to simply ...
