Ok....getting CLOSER and CLOSER!! Did a bit more digging, searching, reading, testing!!
I am able to manually configure wvdial.conf with some settings to initialize the Dell 5530 Mobile Broadband card. I "think" I am even able to get it to talk to the AT&T Wireless network. But that's where all the joy stops. aaarrrrrgggghhhh..... I keep getting this output when I manually connect: bernadette@E4300HJZH1L1:~$ sudo wvdial ATT --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61 --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: AT+CFUN=1 AT+CFUN=1 OK --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 OK --> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1, "IP", "Broadband" AT+CGDCONT=1, "IP", "Broadband" OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATDT*99# --> Waiting for carrier.
