How to register Firebird data provider for Entity Framework?

Question

How do I register a Firebird data provider to use it with Entity Framework?

What should I do to make it appear in the Entity Data Model Wizard/Choose Data Source window?


_{(source: rafaelromao at sites.google.com)}


I expect it to appear in the Data sources: or Data provider: lists.
Is it possible? Or I need to configure this connection another way?

PS: The provider I'm trying to use is the FirebirdClient 2.5

You have to install DDEX Provider for Visual Studio
