Description:
Native support for the .NET Guid/Uniqueidentifier datatype would be a real plus, as it is support by the MSDE 2000:

CREATE TABLE newsgroups (
  GroupID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL, 
  Groupname Varchar(80) NOT NULL,
  CONSTRAINT PK_GroupID PRIMARY KEY  (GroupID) 
);

How to repeat:
This is a feature request.

I second this. Also, a 128 bit integer field might be used to store an IPv6 address.

This is not a bug.  Connector/net does include methods for retrieving a column value as a UUID.  MySQL doesn't support UUID as a column type though it does include a UUID function for generating these values.
