Piecewise Functions

I am trying to use Mma to solve a model where the system behaves a
certain way up to a point, and an entirely different way after that
point. The result is something like:
f[x_/;x<4]:=0
f[x_/;x>=4]:=InterpolatingFunction<<...>>
This part I can get to work no problem. For part of my analysis, I would
like to take the derivative of the function, but all I get is an identity
In[5]
f'[x]
Out[5]
f'[x]
Can anyone help?
