NHibernate on .NET Core/.NET 6 doesn't work with Informix Driver (IfxDriver)

[carlosfc-mendes]

IBM released an Informix .NET Core Provider to be compatible as It's suggest for the .NET Core (and the new versions above like .NET 6). This provider has a new DLL which is named as Informix.Net.Core.dll... The problem is that the current IfxDriver.cs class is expecting a DLL with the previous name IBM.Data.Informix - check it: https://github.com/nhibernate/nhibernate-core/blob/master/src/NHibernate/Driver/IfxDriver.cs

My workaround was to create a custom driver (IfxCoreDriver.cs) which inheriths from the ReflectionBasedDriver.cs class.

Ideally, this should be configured without the necessity to create boilerplate/custom drivers.

Thanks @carlosfc-mendes. Is it available on NuGet?
