the output device is only known to the kernel after the routing decision
has been made, until that point there's nothing you can do to magically
make the output device "appear." netfilter hooks before the routing
decision is made (i.e. there is no output device determined yet):
table chain
----- -----
mangle PREROUTING
mangle OUTPUT
nat PREROUTING
there's also no output device when dealing with any of the INPUT chains
(not applicable).
