Since you are using Jessie images, have you tried using ConnMan to manage 
the WiFi connection rather than resorting to all of this systemd and 
ifup/ifdown stuff?

You can configure ConnMan using the "connmanctl" command line utility, or 
via the "cmst" GUI utility. to setup your link (ssid, credentials).  Or, 
you can create a config file and put it in 
/var/lib/connman/my_config.config.  There is documentation in the ConnMan 
source tree on this format.  I've also attached a template for reference.  
You might also consider adding '/etc/connman/main.conf' and specify 
PreferredTechnologies in the order that you want.  Again, there is 
documentation in the ConnMan source tree on this file, and also the Google 
will help.

Note that if you use this method, you should NOT do any wifi configuration 
in /etc/network/interfaces as ConnMan will override these.  If you would 
rather use /etc/network/interfaces, then be careful that you don't also 
have conflicting configuration setup with ConnMan, as ConnMan will override 
configuration in /etc/network/interfaces.

I use the ConnMan method all the time for my work and have no problem 
getting a WiFi connection after boot using my TP-Link TL-WN-722N (uses an 
Atheros chipset), Jessie snapshot images, and 3.19.x kernels.
