Oracle ADO.NET classes ??

I'm confused ... I've read in a number of places that in VS2005, ADO.NET
contains Oracle specific classes under the System.Data namespace (actually
this was supposed to be available for the v1.1 framework). But I don't see
the Oracle stuff in the Object Browser.

I see:
System.Data.Common
System.Data.Odbc
System.Data.OleDb
System.Data.Sql
System.Data.SqlClient
System.Data.SqlTypes

(only System.Data.Sql is new relative to the v1.1 framework)

So where is the Oracle stuff ? What am I missing??

Thanks
