Description:
I have a simple application (.NET 4.5.2) which makes usage of the MySQL-driver (v6.9.8) for .NET/Mono. It works perfectly on .NET (Windows) but throws an exception on Ubuntu (Mono v4.2.1) as soon as I invoke the Connect-method.

The last working version of the MySQL .NET Driver is 6.4.6, since 6.5.7 it seems not to work with Mono anymore

How to repeat:
Use Mono on Ubuntu and invoke MySqlConnection.Open()
