Answer 1

Just adding a summary of versions

• For EF4, use Connector/NET 6.6.x (current GA is 6.6.6)
• For EF5, use Connector/NET 6.7.x (current GA is 6.7.4) or Connector/NET 6.8.x (current GA is 6.8.3).
• For EF6, use Connector/NET 6.8.x (current GA is 6.8.3).

in EF5 or less, all ok. in EF6, you need to use mysql connector 6.8.x, and add DbConfigurationTypeAttribute to you DbContext:

[DbConfigurationType(typeof(MySql.Data.Entity.MySqlEFConfiguration))]
public class DemoContext : DbContext{}

which MySqlEFConfiguration is in MySql.Data.Entity.EF6.dll in 6.8.x. Have a try!
