Is there anyone that can explain me how to manage two Gigabit NICs inside one single NASLite-M2 NAS ??
I mean two different IP Addresses, maybe two different LANs and so on ...

:D :D :D

There is no dual NIC support in NASLite. You choose one or the other and that is the NIC you push/pull data from.

I didn't want performance increase, I only wanted to connect NAS to two different Networks on two different subnets.
Do you plain to add it ??

You are one of the first to ask for a second NIC to be supported for such a purpose. If you are setting up a network like that then you should have the expertise to setup a Linux box to work as a router/bridge for the purpose. When you start to get into such technical IT setups as you are talking then you start to move out of the realm of where Tony and Ralph have positioned NASLite. The fact is that asking NL to sit on a pair of networks that you have separated likely opens up a number of possible security issues. It also adds a fair amount of complication to the NASLite back end. It would seem to me that this is kind out of scope.

I do know that at present Tony and Ralph are working on SANLite which may be a better choice for your needs.
