You can do nothing other than either
1) capturing in promiscuous mode
or
2) not seeing outgoing packets
because Solaris's networking code only supplies outgoing packets to
streams in "physical promiscuous" mode.
(You could also complain to Sun, I guess, but they might not do anything
about it. Their rationale is probably that, if a stream isn't in
physical promiscuous mode, it should see only packets sent to the
network interface in question, broadcast, or multicast to a multicast
address the interface in question has.)
