Interviewed Feb 2010 in Richardson, TX (took a day)
I was interviewed on campus once and then given an offer about a month later. Surprisingly there were very little technical questions. Much of the interview was behavioral like "tell me your strengths and weaknesses" etc... My interviewer did ask me about specifics on the projects I listed on my resume.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Richardson, TX (took a day)
Very technical phone interview. I was asked about every technology listed on my resume. Others have stated that their interview was very basic. This is fair, as not everyone has the same level of knowledge going into an internship. I was actually interviewed by the RTP site as well. That interview was entirely HR questions.

The interview took place in a hotel conference room. We were then given a tour that they give to prospective corporate relations. We were never given an opportunity to see the offices themselves.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Richardson, TX (took 4 months)
Definitely know the OSI model and the basics of networking. Minimum expectation is to have at least CCNA level experience. Then also be prepared to talk about your experiences in working with customers, kind of like a high tech call center. People/Soft skills are as important as technical skills, though few managers value that.
EXPECT the STAR interview technique, like tell me about a time.
Be prepared to answer any and everything on your resume. I interviewed for a technical position but my CV stated I took an Accounting and Market course in Grad Schol. I was asked to tell the Porter's five forces.
Bottom line, be prepared to defen your resume in it's entirety.
