Hello,
my NAV is up and running (installation done by this howto:
http://metanav.ntnu.no/moin.cgi/InstallingOnRHEL4).
I have some problems with Cricket, there is no description for router graphs.
These are cisco 7206, 750x, 7140 boxes.
Description on routers interfaces are in following format (example):
interface FastEthernet1/0/0.200
description elink,xxx_gw,xxx,,200
And in "Router ports report", for this port I can see:

in vlan column: "200"
in nettype column: "elink"
in netident: "router_name,xxx_gw"

so it is recognized correctly in NAV...
For switches - cisco 2900, 2950 there is no problem, all interfaces are
described properly in Cricket.
What I should check, please help.
I assume you refer to the cricket overview page with all the
router ports for a given router that states "no description available"
in the description column.
This issue is addressed and I believe solved, however I do not think it is 
"out there yet", John Magne can correct me if I am wrong.
