LINQPad + IQ Driver for MySQL Connection Error: Bad handshake

I can't connect to my local MySQL Server with Linqpad + IQ Driver. I constantly get the following error:

Connection Error: Bad handshake

The MySQL Service is up and running. I can connect with command line client.

• MySQL Version: 5.5开发者_开发百科.15
• LINQPad Version: 4.31
• IQ Driver Version: 2.0.2.0

I tried out almost all possible (really!!!) different configurations and MySQL packages. The newest release that works is MySQL Server 5.1.56

I didn't find that particular release on mysql.com. But you can get it from here: http://olex.openlogic.com/packages/mysql/5.1.56
