wvdial.conf is the configuration file for wvdial ("weavedial"). You have to generate it using the command wvdialconf.

Hi Folks,

I successfully used wvdial to connect the internet using my
- Huawei E3131 usb stick (modem) with an
- Afrihost data sim on my
- Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) system
as follows

1. Install the Linux drivers on the Huawei USB stick, from bash
   hamish@hamish-pc: /media/hamish/Mobile Partner/Linux$ sudo bash install
   
2. install wvdial, on Debian like system
   hamish@hamish-pc: ~/ sudo apt-get install wvdial
   
3. configure wvdial,
   - hamish@hamish-pc: ~/ sudo wvdialconf,
   as discussed on http://support.real-time.com/linux/dialup/wvdial.html
   - change the following parameters
   Phone = *99#
   Username = none
   Password = none
   Baud = 3600000
   
4. run wvdial
   hamish@hamish-pc: ~/ sudo wvdial
   
   

That worked for me. (strangely i did not need to specify the afrihost APN)

On my Raspberry Pi Zero, with a K4605 modem, instead of "none" for user name and password I used "{ }" space between braces required - also did not need to use the APN - Afrihost ...
