Create a 32Bit ODBC SYSTEM dsn connection, make sure the Test connection works.

Then run the following in your SQL Server Management Studio

EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'<somelinkname>', @srvproduct=N'MYSQL', @provider=N'MSDASQL', @datasrc=N'<32 Bit DNS Name >'

EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname=N'<somelinkname>',@useself=N'False',@locallogin=NULL,@rmtuser=N'<mysql user>',@rmtpassword='<mysql pwd>'
GO
