autoyast tries to add those repositories before it starts to feed the package 
resolver. That makes sense, since some packages might be only available via 
add-on.
If you do a DVD installation without network, then you should not add add-ons 
that require a network connection. You should add them then via script at the 
end of the installation ("zypper sa ..." or so).

right. You have no network - adding the add-on fails then

the order of the sections in the XML file is not important for autoyast. A 
section on top or at the end of the profile is the same for autoyast.

do you have a /root/.suse_register.log?
Maybe there is something in there what went wrong.
You dont see an online update source with "zypper ls"?
